Presentation transcript:

The Computer vote ! The Way of the Future ?

The old-fashioned way is the way! The mind set of most people. (it was good enough for dad, it’s good enough for me !) In spite of Florida’s mishaps with CHADS (punch cards), they are the answer ! Reliability of new method is questionable because it does not produce a paper trail (but some states still require it, yet many do not)

But the new way is easier ! Under the “Help America Vote Act of 2002” Disabled citizens can vote at home or at a mobile poling place. Easier then filing your taxes on line Confirmation #’s are given and you get to see you vote before it is recorded and sent.

The personal touch ! The campaign people, trying to sway votes at poling places. The cyber possibilities of an on-line campaign.

What will it cost? $ COSTS DIVIDED Federal And State funded $ 3.8 billion funded by disability Company Contribute $ To try for fed. contract.

The “Help America Vote of 2002” Public Law Goal is to establish program to provide funds to states to replace the punch card voting system. va.htm va.htm

How secure is it ? According to national studies they said it is secured and monitored by the National Defense Security Council. The on-line trail is better then an old fashion paper trail, and the voters may see their vote before they are sent. The same “bugs” that critics worry about are the same as the “OFW” ! The politicians are set the debate up for “The electoral weapons of mass destruction vs. the reliability of E-voting”. The Fed. Government has checked out most soft ware but because of National Security it has to be on a trust system.
