Through a FOIA I did, I found out that NC is planning to test Independent Verification Systems. I believe that it may be Vote Here devices.
Only the passing of HR 811 into law could remove incentive to do this experiment.Only when our anti paper election officials know they HAVE to deal with the paper will they
give up.
(The goal is to get rid of the paper and audits).
Excerpt:
George Gilbert, March 15, 2007 (Anti Paper Director of Guilford County NC)
North Carolina is currently working toward a test, in the fall of 2007, of the most advanced
voter verifiable independent electronic audit system currently available using open source software.
Such tests should be encouraged to insure continued progress in the development of improved
verifiable voting technology.
· Some of the advantages of electronic audit systems include
o Equally accessible to all voters regardless of disability
o Can provide accurate and efficient recounts, in addition to audits, in the event a voting system tabulation error is discovered
o Can be integrated into the voting process so that voters do not have to perform double ballot verifications
o Can offer open source code without impinging on the security or proprietary nature of the voting system software
o Minimizes impact of human error in audit or recount processes
o Enables audits and recounts to be completed in a timely manner (we don’t want to see again election officials trying to hand count ambiguous ballot in December.)

So, here we face our state allowing a disaster, the strapping a black box on top of a black box.
