The 2005 Election Assistance Commission (EAC) national voting machine standards are the same as the 2002 EAC standards in the main. The only differences between them deal primarily with accessibility issues for disabled voters, not with basic vote-counting or security procedures.

It certainly does not say that counties must use “only certified equipment that meets the security and reliability standards adopted by the federal Election Assistance Commission in 2005.”

In fact, I can’t find the year 2005 listed anywhere in the Act.

Mr. Hargett and State Election Coordinator Goins spent January to June coming up with excuse after excuse for not implementing the Voter Confidence Act and finally landed on this one to use to send a press release because they believed it was the only excuse that would stick.

Now what will they do?
