Critics say that current voting systems used in the United States are inefficient and often lead to the inaccurate counting of votes. Miscounts can be especially damaging if an election is closely contested. Those critics would like the traditional systems to be replaced with far more efficient and trustworthy computerized voting systems. In traditional voting, one major source of inaccuracy is that people accidentally vote for the wrong candidate. Voters usually have to find the name of their candidate on a large sheet of paper containing many names—the ballot—and make a small mark next to that name. People with poor eyesight can easily mark the wrong name. The computerized voting machines have an easy-to-use touch-screen technology: to cast a vote, a voter needs only to touch the candidate’s name on the screen to record a vote for that candidate; voters can even have the computer magnify the name for easier viewing. Another major problem with old voting systems is that they rely heavily on people to count the votes. Officials must often count up the votes one by one, going through every ballot and recording the vote. Since they have to deal with thousands of ballots, it is almost inevitable that they will make mistakes. If an error is detected, a long and expensive recount has to take place. In contrast, computerized systems remove the possibility of human error, since all the vote counting is done quickly and automatically by the computers. Finally some people say it is too risky to implement complicated voting technology nationwide. But without giving it a thought, governments and individuals alike trust other complex computer technology every day to be perfectly accurate in banking transactions as well as in the communication of highly sensitive information.
Voting system a significant issue for all countries. The authorities are dicussing about two obtions; continue to use traditional system or switch to the computerized voting system. In the reading part, the author is supporting the idea of switching to the computerized voting system by emphasizing the some main points.
The text claims, in computerized voting system there is no possiibility to wrong vote, the voter needs just touch the candidates’ name on the screen. Although, by computerized voting system there is no necessary to one-by-one counting for the votes and this will be the end of the wrong countings.At the end, the author is adding instead of the trust individuals, trust to a complex competer which can do banking transactions accurately is more preferable.
After that, in the lecture the professor oppose the article by stating some people who do not use the computers regularly, according to the lecturer these people can cause so much problem in the computerized voting system. Lecturer also adding, there are questions about the counting process with computers because if something wrong on the computer system the error will be unexceptable. As a final point, according to the lecturer, to trust the computerized voting system, it should be used more often and improved by this way like in the banking and communication systems. The computers did not begin as perfect assistants, they had improved by time. So, the computerized voting system has to be developped before to use them.
