David L. Dill writes: "Four years ago, when I began publicly opposing paperless electronic voting, passing a federal law to require voter-verified paper records (VVPRs) seemed an impossible dream. Rep. Rush Holt (D-New Jersey) introduced such a bill in 2003, and another in 2005, but both bills languished in committee until the clock ran out. The dream is now achievable, due in part to the unending stream of problems caused by paperless voting machines in recent years. HR 811, the third incarnation of the Holt bill, is a critical measure."

Rebuttal to Dill's Support of the HR 811 Trojan Horse

"Dr. David Dill, long-time proponent of the concept of 'verified voting' (voters get to proofread computer printouts of their voting intention), recently posted an op-ed in support of the Holt Bill (HR 811)," writes Nancy Tobi. "However, Dr. Dill's arguments in support of HR 811 fall apart from the moment he promotes an 'it's this or nothing' position. Every argument he makes in support of the bill is easily deconstructed when we remember we are fighting for our American democracy and not the right for corporate technologists, computer expert elitists, and bureaucrats to run our elections."
