en We want to go ahead and (get) the voting system that will make us compliant. We won't change our primary system. We'll have maybe one device in each polling place, maybe one touch screen or auto mark device. It takes a hard ballot, slides up into this unit and it marks the hard ballot. Earphones can tell the voter what's on the ballot, and there are (oversized) keys for the blind folks. They push a button and the ballot comes back out.

en Voting should go quickly once people learn how to use the touch screen. It's better in a whole lot of ways than printed ballots. An election can be certified in two days.

The touch screen will leave a paper audit trail and recover everything each voter does.

en The Democrat approach is ... arbitrary, ... The president said that he didn't want to throw a dart at the board and come up with arbitrary numbers. And I submit one-third, one-third, one-third is not an approach that measures the needs and the priorities; it's a more arbitrary formula.

en It looks simple to come up with a tablet that works, but it is not, ... In order to have the power and portability you need, you need power. The screen is the part of the device that uses the most power.

en This is a unit strictly to assist voters. They mark the ballot and remove the ballot and then put it in the ballot box.
