Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
California voter technology in 2008
In the final weeks before election day, the conversation has turned to voter technology and focused on things like electronic voting machines, poll books and ballot selfies. Suggestions that the technology could be compromised and that the election is “rigged” have increased anxiety around machines that don’t leave a paper trail. Some hope that the questions could lead to more investment in voter tech, but policies and changes are often piecemeal at best. We talk with an expert on voting technology about the machines and other e-tools that will be deployed across the Washington region on election day.
