I am saddened and embarrassed that New York State has not taken a leadership position in mandating the use of optical scanners, but instead seems to have fallen under the sway of lobbyists hawking more expensive and less reliable touch-screen systems.
"Florida is like a synonym for election problems; it's the Bermuda Triangle of elections," said Warren Stewart, policy director of VoteTrust USA, a nonprofit group that says optical scanners are more reliable than touch screens.
By this unique structure with the PUA, highly transparent, conductive and mechanically more reliable capacitive touch sensor could be fabricated.
She is backed on this by the reliable rhythmic touch of veteran Nile Rodgers, whose contributions have helped her create a tolerable bit of fluff.
Public interest groups almost universally supported the move to optical scanning, which is now thought more reliable than touch-screen voting, if only because it leaves a paper trail.
Vision generally provides reliable predictions for touch and motor-control, but some classes of stimuli evoke visual illusions.
Without prejudging such a commission's inquiry, a quick review of alternatives suggests that the most technically advanced reliable systems involve touch-screen A.T.M. technology, not unlike what one encounters at a bank.
