Volusia County Dumps Paperless Electronic Voting
December 16, 2005: Volusia County, Florida today voted to dump
paperless electronic voting machines made by Diebold, choosing instead
to ultimately use more trustworthy machines from ES&S that provide
a voter-verifiable paper ballot. In a move widely seen as a victory for
trustworthy voting advocates, the county council chose equipment that
both meets the needs of disabled voters and preserves the integrity of
election results.
Earlier this year, CPSR signed an amicus brief in a related court case,
opposing a lawsuit that would have forced Volusia County to buy Diebold
equipment. The amicus was written by EFF and signed by several
organizations.
