    Voting as an American citizen is being taken into the 21st. Century with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Some view it as an untrustworthy way to vote. These EVMs have been controversial in some ways when it comes to the voting process. EVMs can provide many different Americans with many different backgrounds something that paper ballots cannot, and that is the many different languages it can provide, but that is where the positives end. EVMs seem like an alternative into the future, But are plagued with issues.…

    Executive Summary: The establishment of an electronic voting system in a country that is still struggling to plant democracy is more of a political venture than anything else. For it to be successful, will have to rely on professional research and will be driven by the understanding of the parties involved. As such, the voters as well as the candidates of elections will be major factors to consider. In that regard, the technical part of the project is miserably dwarfed in terms of importance and concern by the need to make the whole system acceptable, both politically and socially. This means working along with the parties concerned in order to create the trust and faith that is needed for the system to be successful in all ways. This document is a through consideration of the pros and cons of implementing such a project, with regard to cost, research and all the resources needed in the implementation of the project. User concerns, beliefs and the role of age and presence of democracy are critically analyzed to establish a clear and firm ground in which the project should be established.…

    In the book, it is stated that the first major reason for the lack of participation in the election is due to the difficulty of registration. People do not have time or patient to stand in line to register especially when we now live in the golden age of technology where things can be done online; only eleven states now allows online voter registration. Although some critics have argued about the security of the process, it has proved to be an effective way to increase registration.…

    Fund declared that our country had only been surviving instead of confronting the dreadful reality that our election process could be breached (11). Reform is easy to speak about, but difficult to bring about. For reasons mostly related to ineffectual balloting systems, about two percent of all votes cast nationwide in the 2000 presidential contest weren’t counted (Fund 2). According to a poll done in July 2004 by John Zogby, nearly ten percent of all Americans doubt their votes have been counted accurately (Fund 2). Widely publicizing such information could lower voter participation, already a prevalent problem, which is evidenced by the generally low percentage of participation versus voters registered during elections. New and improving technology should be utilized to upgrade subpar voting methods still operated in rural areas. The enhancements of voting equipment would assist in the accuracy of election results and help eliminate costly lawsuits, appeals, and recounts. Anything that would further discourage voter turnout would be in direct opposition of the intent of any future legislation that would be passed in order to help in the process of determining fraud. Voting irregularities are commonplace, but many prosecutors linger in attempting to intervene because convictions for fraud are almost non-existent (Overton 654). They would be inclined to protect their job since they are politically appointed and it would be easier to downplay the election process incompetence. Legislative committees assigned to study the issue would need better data about documented fraud cases to perform statistical analysis and fully understand whether there would be significant gains with the institution of a photo…

    Unfortunately, the voting procedure that was used in the 2000 Presidential race in Florida was obviously inadequate. Using paper ballot sheets that the voter had to punch a hole in that left small chads, may have lost the race for Vice-President Gore. However, with today’s computer technology a better procedure would avoid these types of voting problems. Instead of using paper ballots, computers would allow the voter to absolutely make sure their vote was counted.…
