| Maryland House votes to oust Diebold machines |
|
Advertisements [?]
 MARCH 10, 2006 (COMPUTERWORLD) - The state of Maryland stands poised to put its entire $90 million investment in Diebold Election Systems Inc. touch-screen e-voting systems on ice because they can’t produce paper receipts. The state House of Delegates this week voted 137-0 to approve a bill prohibiting election officials from using AccuVote-TSx touch-screen systems in 2006 primary and general elections. The legislation calls for the state to lease paper-based optical-scan systems for this year's votes. State Delegate Anne Healey estimated the leasing cost at $12.5 million to $16 million for the two elections. Healey is the vice chairwoman of the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee, which recommended the passage of the bill. story- http://www.computerworld.com/governmenttopics/government/legislation/story/0,10801,109436,00.html |
