Delegate Hugo cites lack of confidence in integrity of state's voting process
Del. Timothy D. Hugo, R-Fairfax, the subcommittee chairman, said he would submit legislation calling for a permanent paper record of every vote cast, but opposition from election officials, including registrars, appeared likely to doom this proposal.
... Jean S. Jensen, secretary of the State Board of Elections, said the board could not start the pilot project until 2007, perhaps in time for local government elections in May.
In November, she urged caution in going to a paper verification trail, saying many states were having problems with paper audit machines. She said the state should wait until the technology evolves.
Virginians, if you want a paper ballot,
now is the time to act. Del. Tim Hugo is a very, very, very, conservative Republican; but he is doing the right thing here.
Jean Jensen is the current Democratic Secretary of the Board of Elections. My theory is that she is intellectually vested in her original decision to buy the vapor voting machines.
If you vote in Virginia and support paper ballots, then now is the time to get involved.
