Subject: new voting system To the folks working on the Humboldt County ballot 
system: 
I am a former city council member in Boulder CO, 
and have been thinking about voting systems using publicly accessible data bases 
for a while. Yesterday I discussed my ideas with Josh Liss, the Boulder County 
CO election coordinator, and he said that just yesterday morning he had received 
an email about the proposed Humboldt County system using scanned images of paper 
ballots. Apparently good ideas pop up in multiple places at once. 
In any case, I have written up my approach in the 
attached paper. I think it could make the idea of public data base voting a bit 
easier to implement than the approach apparently under consideration in Humboldt 
County. Thus I thought you might find this brief paper of some 
value. 
Please contact me with any thoughts on this matter, 
and feel free to forward the paper to others who might be 
interested. 
Regards,
