Steamboat Springs, where I currently live,
is poised to buy HART Intercivic voting machines. The Steamboat Pilot
and Today, the local newspaper, said this morning: "HART Intercivic is the only voting machine
vendor that has received federal and state certification to handle the
volume required for Routt County. The electronic voting machines are
durable and user-friendly, and the company has a history of superior
customer service, Weinland said. HART Intercivic also provides voter
education and outreach, something Weinland has said is important."
(Story at
http://www.steamboatpilot.com/section/frontpage_lead/story/35746) I haven't had the bandwidth to keep up with all
the voting information I'd have liked to. As far as I know, no
electronic voting machine is safe from hacking, and a paper ballot
system is far better -- more protective of democarcy -- for that reason. I'd appreciate opinions on the HART machine. Thanks, |
