This is a step in the right direction.

 The Open Voting Consortium (OVC) is a non-profit organization
 dedicated to the development, maintenance, and delivery of an open
 voting system for use in public elections.

 We are currently developing free voting software to run on very
 inexpensive PC hardware.  The OVC voting system will accommodate
 different languages and scoring methods, as well as voters with
 special needs.

 We expect to be fully operational by 2005, with the certification of
 version 1.0 of the Open Voting software.  Meanwhile, we have
 demonstration software under development at SourceForge.net , which
 should be ready by the end of this year.

 If you want to Help make it happen, then click here to send us an

 Cruz, and includes Doug Jones of the University of Iowa and Arnie
 Urken of Stevens Tech.  Peter Maggs of the University of Illinois is

 disabilities.
