  1. The Computer vote ! The Way of the Future ?

  2. 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)

  3. 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.

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

  5. What will it cost?

  6. The “Help America Vote of 2002” • Public Law 107-252 • Goal is to establish program to provide funds to states to replace the punch card voting system. • www.fec.gov/hava/hava.htm

  7. 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.

  8. Companies to watch for ! • Diebold Inc. • Election Systems & Software Inc. • Sequoia Voting Systems Inc. • Hart Inter. Civics • Voting Tech. Inter. • For an Example Of The Voting Procedure you may visit Voting Tech’s website • www.vtintl.com
