Members of the board include Michael Mauro (unless he has resigned now that he’s SoS-elect) and Pottawattamie’s auditor Marilyn Jo Drake.

The RTAL is the paper trail device for the ESS touchscreens. Johnson county wanted to buy this but it was not certified by Iowa for the recent election. Looks like it will try to become certified now.

Ivotronics are the machines under scrutiny in Florida for losing 18,000 votes and throwing a Congressional race into doubt.

You can go to this meeting, but the room is small, so arrive early.
