League of Women Voters position on voting machines:
LWVUS supports
only voting systems that are designed so that:
• they employ
a voter-verifiable paper ballot or other paper record, said paper
being the official record of the voter’s intent; and
• the voter
can verify, either by eye or with the aid of suitable devices for
those who have impaired vision, that the paper ballot/record
accurately reflects his or her intent; and
• such
verification takes place while the voter is still in the process of
voting; and • the vote totals can be verified by an independent hand count of the paper ballot/record; and • routine audits of the paper ballot/record in randomly selected precincts can be conducted in every election, and the results published by the jurisdiction. |
