Experts Respond to Questions On Potential E-Voting Problems and 2008 Election

Stateline.org asked two experts whether states are ready for the 2008 election?

  • Todd Rokita, Indiana Secretary of State: “States will be ready when voters cast their ballot for our next U.S. president. This will be no small feat given the uncertain landscape they are facing. With presidential primaries beginning in early January, major changes to our electoral system could still happen before November 2008.”
  • Dr. Robert A. Pastor, director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University, Washington, DC.: “While there has been some progress in the five years since passage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002, most states have not fully implemented, let alone embraced, the reforms needed to restore full confidence in the electoral system. So a number of problems are still likely to occur in this year’s primary and general elections.”
