"legal, technical, and administrative constraints" with paper trail

[phoebe]

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2003--VoteHere, Inc. (www.votehere.net), a leading global supplier of secure electronic voting technology, today issued a formal response to Secretary of State Kevin Shelley's request for public comment following the issuance of the California Ad Hoc Touch Screen Task Force Report.

The Task Force reached unanimous agreement that there "needs to be voter verification imposed by a date certain and the State and federal governments must provide funding to make this happen."

They also cited "legal, technical, and administrative constraints" with a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT), including current non-compliance for multiple language and disability support. Because of these VVPAT shortcomings, the Task Force wanted to "encourage the development of alternative voter verification technology, such as fully electronic verification."

"Since its inception, VoteHere has been dedicated to delivering electronic verification technology in compliance with all state and federal voting system requirements," said Jim Adler, president and CEO of VoteHere. "Electronic voting systems require special safeguards to ensure election integrity. We applaud the Task Force's informed findings and believe this report will prove a bellwether for voter verification requirements in all election systems."
