Pacific Research Institute (via Heartland Institute), October 2006, online edition, 25p
"The digital revolution has left an imprint on virtually every aspect of society, including the process by which Americans choose their leaders. On Election Day 2004, voters cast more than 40 million votes, nearly one third of the total, on approximately 175,000 electronic voting machines. Relatively few complaints about e-voting systems were received, and those that were could be attributed to user error. For the first time, thousands of handicapped and special-needs voters, who in the past have been turned away from their precincts, were allowed to vote at a polling booth... This policy briefing examines the rise of e-voting, what its critics say,how to answer them, and what the future might hold."
