Santa Cruz asks residents to rate new voting machines
From the Santa Curz Sentinel story:
"As the county readies for new voting systems in 2006, it is asking voters to grade six possible new voting machines.
County Clerk Gail Pellerin’s office will host demonstrations of the machines, aimed at accommodating disabled citizens, Tuesday in Watsonville and Wednesday in Santa Cruz.
But the demonstrations are for all voters as well, while the county mulls updating its voting system.
Residents are being asked to rank the machines by a survey at the demonstrations.
"We’re trying to sift through all the data and make the best decision we can," Pellerin said. "The public is a key part of that."
The six systems are made by Accupoll, Diebold, ES&S, Hart, IVS and Sequoia."
