It would take me all of about TWO FRIGGIN DAYS to design, implement and test its functionality. |
Sweet. Do it. Make sure that the hardware is not networked during election time, can pass the Help America Vote Act of 2002, can be secured, easy to use and have a print out to verify what each voter voted for. Can you build a scanner to tally provisional and absentee ballots? I guess a ballot box would be great to, since the current one sucks donkey balls. Reports would need to be sorted by each race and needed to be put in alphabetically by last name or be able to sort by district/presinct, legislative district, commissioner district and by party. Any other questions, just let me know. I'm sure we get definitely get you a contract for $90million dollars only to be outlawed in the following year.
BTW, it can't be a touch screen. I believe there is a bill that is trying to outlaw them in the state of maryland.
