Should democracies be moving to Internet voting?Should we be deploying electronic voting machines to speed up the counting of ballots?What kinds of protections need to be in place when computers are introduced into the election process?These and other issues are discussed in Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count? co-authored by Barbara Simons.Simons, who has had a home on Bowen Island since 2004, has written, testified, and spoken extensively about voting-related issues for the past decade.
Kevin Shelley, Former California Secretary of State, said about Broken Ballots: "The cornerstone of our democracy is the right to vote and the right to have that vote counted as it was intended. Broken Ballots first demonstrates clearly and compellingly the extent to which that right is in jeopardy. Then it lays out a plan to preserve and protect that right. Kudos to the authors and to all those fighting to safeguard our democracy."
