- Position:
- Pro to the question "Do Electronic Voting Machines Improve the Voting Process?"
- Reasoning:
-
“DREs have the inherent capacity to allow language minorities, people with disabilities, and those with limited literacy skills the opportunity to vote independently and privately. For the first time language minority voters will not have to rely on interpreters – who often are not available – or be forced to compare a translated sample ballot to the actual ballot.”
from testimony before the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on May 5, 2004
