Critics say that current voting systems used in the United States are inefficient and often lead to the inaccurate counting of votes. Miscounts can be especially damaging if an election is closely contested. Those critics would like the traditional systems to be replaced with far more efficient and trustworthy computerized voting systems. In traditional voting, one major source of inaccuracy is that people accidentally vote for the wrong candidate. Voters usually have to find the name of their candidate on a large sheet of paper containing many names—the ballot—and make a small mark next to that name. People with poor eyesight can easily mark the wrong name. The computerized voting machines have an easy-to-use touch-screen technology: to cast a vote, a voter needs only to touch the candidate’s name on the screen to record a vote for that candidate; voters can even have the computer magnify the name for easier viewing. Another major problem with old voting systems is that they rely heavily on people to count the votes. Officials must often count up the votes one by one, going through every ballot and recording the vote. Since they have to deal with thousands of ballots, it is almost inevitable that they will make mistakes. If an error is detected, a long and expensive recount has to take place. In contrast, computerized systems remove the possibility of human error, since all the vote counting is done quickly and automatically by the computers. Finally some people say it is too risky to implement complicated voting technology nationwide. But without giving it a thought, governments and individuals alike trust other complex computer technology every day to be perfectly accurate in banking transactions as well as in the communication of highly sensitive information.
there has been a ton of debate as to replace traditional voting machine by computerized voting machine or not. More specifically, in regards to passages, the author puts forth the idea that new computersized voting machines can lead to efficient election system. In the listening, the speaker is quick to point out there are some serious flaws in writer's claims. In fact, the professor believes that existing voting machines can not replaced by computersized voting machine and addresses, in detail, trouble with the each point made in reading text.
First and foremost, the author states that due to close proximity in candidate names on ballet paper, some people with cast wrong votes. this problem can be avoided in touch based computerized voting machine. some professionals in the field, however, stands in firm opposition to this claim. In the lecture, for example, the speaker addresses this point and states that not all people are familiar with computor, thus, introduction of these voting machines leads to no votes at all by these people.
A group of scholars, represented by author believe that error in counting by human can cost a lot in closely contensted elction and can be avoided by using computersied voting amchines. In fact, though, not all experts believe this is accurate. The speaker states that, since computers are programmed by human, human error can be eliminated either way. Even error in programme to count votes can wipe thousands of votes.
Finally, the author wraps this argument by positing that people are well aware complex computing system such as banking and communication. computersized voting machine will not be something new. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes an issue with this claim by contending that these systems are refined due to daily uses but election occurs less frequently and can not be refined in short duration.
