| Comment : | Dear Commissioners,
I am grateful for an opportunity to express my concern about American's
voting system.
Guidelines for transparent and trustworthy elecitons should definitely
include recommendations that all systems be open source and easily
monitored by the public.
We applaud Illinois legislation (House Bill 1968) covers many of the bases
which must be touched when dealing with voting issues. It states:
"All test plans, test results, documentation, and other records used to
plan, execute, and record the results of the testing and verification,
including all material prepared or used by independent testing authorities
or other third parties, shall be made part of the public record and shall
be freely available via the Internet and paper copy to anyone."
It is urgent that this precedent spread throughout the 50 states.
A paper trail should not be 'under glass' but should belong to the voter.
A voter must know that his/her vote has been recorded and counted
properly.
Wireless voting is a huge error and an unnecessary risk. | |
