Robert A. Brady Biography
- Title:
- US Representative (D-PA)
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Do Electronic Voting Machines Improve the Voting Process?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Some states, Georgia for example, have adopted fully electronic, paperless systems and have been very pleased with the results. At a hearing last year at our committee, testimony revealed that after converting to its new system the error rate in Georgia dropped from 4.8 to .87 – which translates into 71,000 votes captured by the new system that would have been lost under the old. Clearly, electronic systems hold out the promise of making our elections far more modern and accurate.”
