Problem Statement Puerto Rico’s current voting system:
Time consuming process of managing and tallying paper ballots
Probability of human error
Current Issues “History is littered with examples of elections being
manipulated in order to influence their outcome.” – Analysis of an Electronic Voting System
“It is my strong recommendation that all election officials refrain from procuring any system that does not provide an indisputable, voter verified paper ballot.”
