  • Abstract
    In the wake of the contested results from the 2000 US presidential election, the US Congress passed the Help America Vote Act, which banned certain voting technologies, provided federal funds for purchasing new voting equipment, and required handicapped accessibility for voting systems. Thus began a rapid migration of US voting systems from technologies such as punch cards, paper ballots, and first-generation electronic voting systems to second-generation electronic voting systems, typically known as direct recording electronic (DRE) systems.
