Senator Debra Bowen of California has introduced Senate Bill 1747, which is meant to open up voting machines to more inspections. She writes:
Current law restricts the ability of people to inspect voting machines, limiting it to county central committees who can send in “data processing specialists or engineers.” My bill expands it to every qualified political party, removes the requirement that they be “data processing specialists or engineers,” and permits up to 10 people from a “bonafide collection of citizens.”
