New Study: Two-Thirds of Voters Fail to Notice Vote-Flipping on Touch-Screen DRE Voting Systems
If Voters Don't Notice Incorrect Votes on The Review Screen in Front of Their Face, Why Would They Notice it on a So-Called 'Paper Trail' Printed Afterward?

A new study supports the contentions of Election Integrity advocates who oppose Rush Holt's election reform bill (HR 811) on the basis that it allows for the use of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) touch-screen voting systems. In her recently released doctoral thesis, “The Usability of Electronic Voting Machines and How Votes Can Be Changed Without Detection”, Rice University researcher and Doctoral candidate Sarah P. Everett reveals that only 37% of the participants noticed that vote flipping had occurred on their review screens during mock election testing.

And yet Holt supporters think voters will notice such "errors" on a paper trail printed after the review screen?...

2. Audits take care of vote switching.

You CAN'T verify ANYTHING without the possibility of an audit. Is that what you are after? An "audit-free" election? Lovely. Nice work.

How about this?

Voter-verified paper ballots with random audits and open citizen observation every step of the way throughout the nation.

So, my question remains...

Why are you working so damn hard to defeat a bill that would give Americans a voter-verified paper ballot with random audits and open observation by the citizens of this country?

Nevermind.
