Important Facts About "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act"
http://electionarchive.org/ucvInfo/US/FactsAboutHR811.pdf
Two more incorrect claims about HR811, the "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act" were widely spread in the last few days on the Internet. I.e.
1. DRES could all be replaced by 2008, so we should oppose HR811 for not doing mandating immediate replacement of all digital recording electronic (DRE) voting machines, and that
2. DRE voter verifiable paper trails (VVPT) rolls can not be efficiently and accurately manually counted.
I have revised "Important Facts About Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act"to rebut these incorrect claims, remove mention of non-election events in Utah, be more clear and precise to avoid any misinterpretations, and to add data and info to show why it is not possible to replace all DREs by 2008, etc.
Please keep in mind one thing:
DRE VVPT rolls would only need to be manually counted in ONE election
(2008); and all paperless DRES and all paper roll DREs (which violate voter privacy and are not durable) would be gone by 2010 federal elections; and the largest hand count of paper ballots since the 1980s would occur in 2008; and the first ever independent check (not conducted by election officials themselves) would be conducted in 2008 IF HR811 passes.
Please recall that prior manual audits (in Ohio) have shown that DRE voting systems often do not accurately record or count votes and that experts agree (like the Cato expert cited below) that DRE voting systems are open to undetectable tampering, electronic failure, and denial of service attacks.
There are only 6 months until 2008, there is no better legislation than HR811 and S559 in the offing.
