Reply #20: TN: County example in tracking voters

[tbyg52]

Hamilton County could serve as an example for other counties if recommendations of a study calling for a verified voting paper trail are implemented, one of the study's chief researchers said.

Hamilton and Pickett counties are the only counties in Tennessee that use verified paper trails for voting, according to preliminary study results from the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. The state's 93 other counties use so-called direct recording electronic machines, which produce no paper record.

The study recommends that all counties switch to a paper-trail system.

"Hamilton and Pickett both very much like their systems," said Rose Naccarato, senior research associate with TACIR. "Hamilton County has definitely provided an example."
