Tova Freed from Gag

Tova Wang, released from her confidentiality obligations under a contract for the Election Assitance Comission, has written a very interesting op-ed in the Washington Post describing the twists and turns of the whole affair ("A Rigged Report on U.S. Voting?"). I respect people at the EAC and the difficulty of their job, but the Wang-Serebrov incident was mis-managed; Tova's comments are on-point. I know the EAC has been doing much better in other respects, like the nascent testing and certification program.

(If you're nostalgic, you can get a Free Tova T-Shirt.)

Speaking of gags, we'll be freed from our confidentiality requirements for the document review portion of the California Top-to-Bottom Review on Labor Day (9/3 is 45 days after July 20, the date we submitted our report). I'll be sure to write a blog entry akin to the reflections of Matt and Eric.
