Electronic Voting Under Scrutiny

What Systems Are Used, And What Are The Possible Problems?

Seventeen million more people voted in 2004 than voted in 2000, a 14 percent increase. With critical midterm elections just six weeks away, concerns are growing about the reliability of electronic voting machines. Some members of Congress are so worried that they are offering to buy states more paper ballots as a backup. That plan will be the subject of a congressional hearing.


How Many States Use Electronic Voting?

This November, for the first time, 90 percent of all votes in this country will be cast or counted electronically.

Dozens of states have adopted electronic voting technology to comply with federal legislation in 2002 intended to put an end to punch-card machines in the wake of the Bush-Gore "hanging chad" debacle.

About one-third of all precincts nationwide are using the electronic voting technology for the first time.
