| Comment : | In an effort to help address some of these issues in Maryland and nationally, I have been working, with the cooperation of the of the Governor’s office, to enter into agreements with the Maryland Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (MIPAR) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and the Center for American Politics and Citizenship at the University of Maryland, College Park (UM) to conduct a comprehensive study of independent vote verification systems.
The goal of this study is to provide policy makers with the necessary information to help them make informed decisions about voting systems, whether independent verification is needed, and if so what is the most effective means of achieving it.
The systems that SBE hopes will participate in this study include:
1. Avante (paper trail)
2. VoteHere
3. SCYTL
4. IP.com
5. Diebold (paper trail)
6. VoteGuard (Democracy Solutions)
7. MIT (audio verification)
