| 8. IA: Iowa Group Calling for Return to Paper Ballots |
 A group of Iowa residents is urging the Legislature to upgrade election procedures by returning to paper ballots. Iowans for Voting Integrity would like lawmakers to require the use of paper ballots, routine manual audits (hand counting) of ballots in randomly selected precincts, a more rigorous, state-based system of testing vote tabulation software, and other measures to strengthen the transparency and integrity of elections. Touchscreen machines and electronic counting machines have been questioned by some because of problems in recent elections. Iowans for Voting Integrity encourages paper ballots, marked either by the voter with a pen, pencil or ballot marking device. An optical ballot scanner then can count the paper ballots. http://www.press-citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070111/NEWS01/701110326/1079 |
