DRE computerized voting systems are easily hacked and compromised, and have a history of operational problems that have disrupted elections across the country. For that reason we believe that the Secretary should support electronic ballot-marking devices, not DRE computerized voting machines, to accommodate voters with disabilities. Nonetheless, the Secretary&#8217;s decision to support paper ballots represents a major milestone on the path to election integrity in Colorado,&#8221; said Conroy.<\/div>\n<p><em>That story, and today&#8217;s other notable voting news, posted below&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Rep.
