Ohio pulls plug on electronic voting
Excerpt from an article by Julie Carr Smyth
The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Columbus - The battle is over and electronic voting machines, at least in Ohio, are dead.
After years of wrangling and protests, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell announced Wednesday
that he will limit Ohio's uncompleted voting-machine conversion to a single device:
the precinct-count optical-scan machine.
The decision effectively sidelines the embattled touch-screen voting machines that protesters
portrayed as razor-toothed, vote-eating monsters prone to hacking.
An Ohio security review completed in December 2003 uncovered dozens of security risks in the machines,
many of which companies were working to fix.

Mr. Blackwell's directive that all 88 counties must adopt a voting system of paper ballots,
marked by hand and read by optical-scanning devices, is a safe and predictable one.
At the very least it will rid the state of the unreliable punch-card voting systems still in use in 69 counties.
This is a very important news!
