"The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man

for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls

which imprison men because they are different from other men."

-Lyndon B. Johnson

 

         

 

      The difficulties with the 2000 presidential election indicate the need for accurate, inexpensive vote counting systems, which are easy for a voter to use.  It must also allow an election official an easy set-up process, reliability, and advanced tamper and fraud proof protection.  Confusing ballots and punch cards with hanging or dimpled chads have all shown that some existing vote counting systems do not provide sufficiently accurate counts, which can lead to difficulty in ascertaining an individual voter's intent.  This has proven to result in disqualifying legitimate votes and the disenfranchisement of voters.  Recent elections have shown that disqualified votes can be critical to the outcome of an election.

 

      The EVMS design offers electronic voting and a paper ballot display of voter selections.  The unofficial tally for the precinct and for the election district are compiled electronically and immediately after the polls close.  The direct official tally is backed by an undisputable audit trail.

 

      EVMS is less expensive, more compact, and easier to operate before, during, and after elections.  It reduces the possibility of human error or tampering before, during, and after polling hours.  It is equipped to be spill resistant, tamper resistant, compact, lightweight, and easy to operate.  It provides many options for vote totals to be tallied by a certain category of vote information.
