iVote

Oregon is using iPads to help people with disabilities vote. It seems like a great idea. Ballots can be marked with a tap (or a puff) and the text can be enlarged or read aloud. iPads might be much more cost-effective than those clunky accessible voting machines that are collecting dust in precincts across the country. I’d still prefer true e-voting that allows voters to submit a secure ballot from any device and location, but that’s probably a pipe dream. But pilot projects like this might get us closer to that vision.
