Mikel Haas Biography
- Title:
- Registrar of Voters of San Diego County (California)
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Do Electronic Voting Machines Improve the Voting Process?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Although San Diego, like many other California counties, only used touch screen voting to meet the 2002 Help America Vote Act requirement for disabled-accessible voting, the county plans to be all-electronic for the November election… Counties choose touch screens for a reason. We have ballots in four languages and many versions of an increasingly complicated ballot. You can’t tell me that doesn’t call out for a computerized solution.”
