| Comment : | Computer can count with ease! It’s a
well-understood technology. Rather than making
it more complicated than it is, we need to
standardize the technology. Vendors may compete
based on the quality of their services.
Current law recognizes electronic tampering
everywhere! In Vegas, the State Gaming Control
Board rigorously tests slot machines. Even so,
the machines have still been rigged from
time-to-time! Paperless voting is an embossed
invitation to steal elections. It must be
banned. Wireless devices encourage rigging and
must be eliminated. Most children of even grade
school age are aware that such systems are
inherently easy to tamper with and corrupt.
The scientists, engineers, and university faculty
in the Open Voting project have demonstrated a
prototype of an inexpensive, accessible,
electronic ballot printer utilizing free, open
source software. We urge that VVSG include
multi-use PCs. With the necessary legislation
and funding, we could have an excellent system in
place within several years.
The public expects EAC to provide electoral
transparency. Policies must include public
disclosure of all aspects of election
administration. With investment in sensible Research and Development, America may once again model clean elections to the world. | |
