Verified Voting's President/CEO Courtenay Bhatia interviewed on MSNBC

October 25th, 2006

On October 25, Verified Voting's President/CEO Courtenay Bhatia was interviewed on MSNBC. Ms. Bhatia responded to questions about potential problems with newly-deployed electronic voting systems -- problems that may impact the November 7 elections. She emphasized the need for elections officials to have backup plans for dealing with such problems and encouraged officials in jurisdictions employing electronic voting machines to have emergency paper ballots on hand should equipment problems occur on election day.

Ms. Bhatia also described how voters can participate in the Election Transparency Project to observe all aspects of the election process and to collect data that will be used to help improve voting procedures in future elections.

  • "The core of our American democracy is the right to vote. Implicit in that right is the notion that that vote be private, that vote be secure, and that vote be counted as it was intended when it was cast by the voter. And I think what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all of that is being called into question." (more here)
