Printouts to verify e-voting this fall - Hawai'i
Hawai'i voters using electronic voting machines this year will be able to double-check their choices before they cast their ballots, a big change from the last election.
This year the voting machines are the same, but the state just signed a $2.9 million contract with Hart InterCivic to provide paper printouts with a summary of votes cast by the voter on the company's eSlate electronic voting machines.
"I'm glad they got a paper trail, but as far as I'm concerned, it's a day late and a dollar short," Lagareta said, pointing out that the state has already gone without for one election. Now she feels like the state is rushing into something without allowing the public time to see the contract or consider where there might be problems in other areas. "It's not as transparent or timely as it could be. I just find that very troubling," she said.
