I was recently made aware of the fact that CGI Technologies & Solutions has been hired to develop California's statewide voter database.
As you may know, CGI Technologies & Solutions is part of the same CGI that served as the lead contractor hired by the federal government to develop healthcare.gov, the now infamous Obamacare website.
Designing a statewide voter database is a delicate and monumental task, and I found it troubling that California was utilizing a company with such a poor track record. Also of great concern was the process through which CGI was awarded the contract.
Accordingly, I've sent a letter to the California Secretary of State demanding answers.
In it, I wrote, "The credibility of a voter database is integral to our entire democratic process; a database unable to operate at the highest standard could cast doubt upon our state’s electoral integrity."
The entire letter is attached below. I look forward to updating everyone on the Secretary's answers once I receive them.
