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,
