Greetings Bart,

In regard to an independant office overseeing the national TSA ballots,
I have found the following, based on preliminary information secured by
members of the ACT Legal Advisory Panel, two estimates have been given,
one from a bank and one from an accounting firm and these range from
approximately $1000 to approximately $2500, the higher price being
closer to the actual cost.

This price includes the independent firm receiving the mailed ballots,
accumulating them until vote counting day and then bringing them out to
Wheaton to have them counted in accordance with current procedures and
with a
representative of the independent firm, observing the count. Their
certification that the count is correct will likely require an
additional fee.

It appears that even with the an additional fee for certification, the
price is right to have the ballots tallied by an outside source.

I look forward to your reply.
