Dear Friends of Open Voting:

We love all the enthusiastic responses to our latest demo. A lot of people have suggestions regarding who we should approach -- and we welcome these suggestions. For sure, every election official in California will see our demo fairly soon. We will also make sure that the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will see it.

If you want to assist with our coverage, feel free to burn a CD (or request one from us) and take it to your local election officials. In some ways, this is more valuable than receiving it from directly from me. Get in touch with me if you have any questions about doing something like this.

We have raised over $1,200 today. Thanks again to our supporters. We really need to raise another $2,300 today to pay our bills. This is not even all our bills -- just the ones we have to pay now to stay afloat.

Again, we've accomplished some great things as reflected in this morning's article.

This is all possible due to our great supporters. Let's keep it going!
