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.
The leture disgreed with the article's opinions. It's not a better solution to use the computerized
voting systems.
Firstly, it might be hard for the voters who don't use the computer so often, or the users who is
fear of the technology, even some of voters can not aford a computer. Touch screen may also be
hard to use for people who is not familiar with computers. Secondly, computer is programmed
by human beings, which means it can also have errors. Instead of human being's counting error,
which only results one or two counting error in number, an errror in the program code could
cause tramendous error in number. In case of the computer crash or disaster, it may lost all the
voting information. We can not even to make a re-count. Lastly, our daily banking or other
highly sensitive infomation system, is actually improved as time goes by. They were also
problematic at the beginning. As we use them so often, we have more chances to find problems,
and furturemore, to fix and improve them. However, for the voting system, we only use them
every 2 years nationally and some other rare events. We just don't use it often enough to find a
bug or test it thoroughly.
