Hi All,
According to the SOS's office, a couple of CO statutes won't allow the Vote-PAD. Notice how Colorado law is stricter than HAVA on the first law mentioned, ruling out alternatives to DREs. I wonder who was behind that one, and why!! I'm not sure why the second law thwarts use of the VotePAD, but an looking into it.
1 Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1, Article 5, Section 705, Paragraph 1, which reads: "A voting system shall include at least one direct recording electronic voting system specially equipped for individuals with disabilities."
2.. Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1, Article 5, Section 704, Paragraph 1, part N, which describes requirements for audio ballots as follows: "After the initial instruction from an election official, the elector shall be able to independently operate the voter interface device through the final step of casting a ballot without assistance."
