ELECTION 2003 Voting Machine Failures and Beyond, A report by Fairfax County Republican Committee, January 2004 ... In the Report FCRC has compiled a list of conclusions and Recommendations, proposed questions that must be answered before the voters of Fairfax County should ever feel confident in the vote, and 12 proposed solutions. FCRC’s main conclusion: neither the Fairfax County Electoral Board, nor the new voting machines, was ready for Election Day. ... The primary recommendation: establish a local or state independent study – open to the public - to review software, hardware and failings associated with Fairfax County voting machines. Further, FCRC recommends that the Virginia General Assembly enact statutes that require: (1) a voter verified paper audit trail incorporated into all state-certified voting systems; (2) that the voter verified paper ballots be compared – in a select number of polling places – to the vote totals recorded on the DRE; and (3) that the law be amended to prevent the removal of voting machines from polling places on Election Day. Essentially, FCRC is challenging our elected and appointed officials to pro-actively return confidence in the vote. 2004-01-12_Fairfax_Voting_Report.pdf |
