Disability Advocacy Group Endorses Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail on Electronic Voting Machines |
|
The American Council of the Blind of Maryland, a chapter of the nation’s leading advocacy agency for the blind and partially sighted, formally endorsed the adoption of an accessible voter verified paper audit trail at its annual convention in Baltimore on November 7. The resolution comes in the wake of the 2004 election, during which TrueVoteMD pollwatchers statewide documented hundreds of electronic voting irregularities that, in the worst instances, partially or totally disenfranchised Maryland voters. |
