I need voting machine help ASAP
March 30 we are having a demonstration of the Hart Interactive eSlate. I have some questions, but I need more ammo to put them on the spot. What do you know about the eSlate and what should I ask these people?

Tks

4. A paper receipt is a receipt for a stolen vote --
A false sense of security. Don't buy into it, please!

A voting machine can send one message to the screen and printer and another to the memory card for tabulation.

In the March 2004 Primary, Orange County had problems with them. Do a search on "orange county eslate problem" and you'll find some articles like this: http://tinyurl.com/hdz4g
