UNVERIFIABLE VOTES
Our Election System Is Broken. Can the New Congress Fix It?
By Warren Stewart | January 15, 2007 (page 1/3)
In the past year, concerns about the accuracy and integrity of
computerized elections have entered the general consciousness and
become accepted as serious. Issues that I addressed in the March 1,
2006, edition of the Spectator have since been written about in the
national media, and the momentum has grown for legislative solutions to
be found at the federal level. A new Congress is getting under way, and
decisions will be made that will profoundly affect the way Americans
cast and count their votes.
