Write-in candidates and Diebold
How does a voter choose a write-in candidate electronically?
Today's article in the Concord Monitor concerning electronic voting raises serious issues for unknown or unannounced candidates in New Hampshire elections, particularly the upcoming primary. It is quite possible that a national figure, such as Al Gore, may not enter the primary by the election law deadline, but may still wish to be considered by the electorate as a "write-in" candidate. How does a NH voter cast a write-in ballot when the candidate may not be on the ballot screen itself and, presumably, cannot be "touched" electronically? With electronic balloting, are we not precluding from the New Hampshire electoral process a candidate of world-class stature? Are we denying New Hampshire voters the opportunity to express their opinions through voting for the candidate of their choice? ============================== Farrell S.
