My brief input.
What should be required:
1. Having all electronic voting machines output a paper ballots, that can
then be counted if there is any need for a recount
2. Voting machine code should be not be proprietary. The idea of hiding
programming code opens the possibility of tampering with the results, and
creates distrust.
Why these two points should be required:
1. Every vote must count.
2. If Americans do not have confidence that their vote will not be counted, and a staggering amount have this belief, they will not bother to
vote.
An American's vote should be unassailable and the right upheld as sacred. | |
