Electronic voting machines widely used across the country – including in Colorado – create serious security and reliability issues, according to a national report released Thursday.
The public interest group Common Cause rated Colorado at a midlevel risk of having elections compromised by problems with Direct Recording Electronic machines, or DREs.
But Arapahoe, Jefferson and Denver counties would be rated as high-risk because their machines do not produce paper receipts, said Colorado Common Cause’s Jenny Rose Flanagan.
Secretary of State Gigi Dennis’ office noted it has worked with Common Cause to support a state law that requires all voting machines to have a paper trail by 2010 at the very latest.
