Secretary of state approves first paper-trail voting system for California

Friday, January 21, 2005


(01-21) 17:27 PST SACRAMENTO (AP) --

An electronic voting system with a paper trail that was used in Nevada elections last year became the first approved for use in California on Friday.

Secretary of State Kevin Shelley certified the Sequoia Voting Systems machine for use after Jan. 1, 2006.

The machine prints a paper record of a voter's choices, which the voter can inspect through a screen for accuracy. If the paper record is correct and approved by the voter, it winds into the machine. If incorrect, the vote can be voided.

1. If there's source code involved, it should be made available to be
inspected.

Bully for Shelley. He may have his problems, but he has it right on the voting thing. No ticky, no votey.
