Brady Wiseman on Lou Dobbs</h3> <p><a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/fromthehousefloor"><strong>Brady's Blog: He has two new posts up</strong></a><br /> Representative Brady Wiseman announced today that he will be appearing on CNN with Lou Dobbs on an election special Sunday evening, October 29th. The special program, "Democracy at Risk", airs at 5:00 p..m. MST. Wiseman's segment appears just after the half-hour mark.</p> <p>The show explores the many problems of touch-screen voting machines. Wiseman succesfully sponsored a bill in the 2005 Montana Legislature, HB297, which requires the use of paper ballots in all elections, thus prohibiting the use of touch-screen voting machines in Montana. The bill passed both houses of the legislature by wide margins and was signed into law by Governor Brian Schweitzer.</p> <p>In addition to being a part-time citizen legislator, Wiseman is a full-time software engineer at RightNow Technologies in Bozeman.</p> <p>"Lou Dobbs was curious as to why a software engineer would be opposed to touch-screen voting machines", Wiseman said. "They are the wrong technology in the wrong place. Why would you buy a $5,000 dollar computer to mark a ballot when you can do the same job with a five cent pencil?"</p> <p>In addition to the technical problems with the machines, Wiseman is concerned about how the votes are counted. "When you use touch-screen voting machines, you are outsourcing the counting of votes to companies who believe the ballots and the counting methodology are both their private property. That's ridiculous", he asserted. "Citizens and candidates or public service all need to know that anyone can count these ballots, and recount them if need be, in a fair and open process that anyone can take part in."</p> <p><br /> For further information, contact Brady Wiseman at 406-586-1815.</p> <p class="posted"> Posted by admin at <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/rep_brady_wisem.php">02:36 PM</a> | <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/rep_brady_wisem.php#comments">Comments (1)</a> </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
