Several states that are trying to introduce electronic voting machines to their electoral process are being challenged in the courts.
Per USA Today:
Voter Action, a non-partisan advocacy group, led the challenge filed Thursday against the state of Colorado and nine counties, as well as similar lawsuits in California and Arizona this spring and New Mexico last year. Court actions by others targeted the devices in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Most of the suits argue that the machines are vulnerable to software tampering, don't keep an easily recountable printed record and may miscount, switch or not record votes and even add phantom votes.
We've already seen difficulties with state primaries held in March in Texas and Illinois, and more and more counties are discounting the use of electronic ballots as unreliable and unsafe.
What's it going to take for officials everywhere to realize that a voter-verifiable paper ballot is the only good solution?
