| 2. | Voting Machine Position: | Pro to the question "Do electronic voting machines improve the voting process?" | |||||||||
| 3. | Reasoning: |
"AAPD and the disability community are in favor of a voter having the ability to verify the accuracy of their vote and to change any vote before their ballot is cast. In fact, it is one of the reasons the disability community has so strongly supported the implementation of DRE's." (AAPD Policy Statement on Voter Verified Paper Ballots, accessed on their website 5/5/2006) |
