Debra Bowen, the California Secretary of State, was interviewed last week on her in-depth, "top-to-bottom" review of California's voting machinery as well as the recent push by Republicans to "reform" California's Electoral College votes.

On the inquiry into voting machines, Secretary Bowen describes how and why she followed through on her duty to de-certify voting systems that shows inherent and persistent problems. She talks about how California is moving forward now that several voting machines are no longer acceptable in Califorina.

And on the so-called "Electoral College Reform" effort, which would give the Republicans 20 electoral college votes in the 2008 Presidential Election, Bowen says that such a change might be fair if it happened in all 50 states. But targeting only California for this kind of sweeping reform is clearly problematic because it only benefits the Republican party.

See the videos here -- first Secretary Bowen on her "top-to-bottom" review of election machines, and then her response to the Dirty Trick.
