Government Technology - August 2008 - (Page 32) BY STEVE TOWNS | EDITOR EARLIER THIS YEAR, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for her decision to sharply limit electronic voting machine use in her state. The award, presented by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, recognizes public officials who make tough decisions without regard to personal or professional consequences. In August 2007, Bowen set strict limits on the use of e-voting technology known as directrecording electronic (DRE) voting machines, citing troubling security flaws in the systems. The move angered e-voting machine vendors and sent California counties — which had invested $450 million in new voting hardware — scrambling to prepare for the state’s Feb. 5, 2008, presidential primary election. At first glance, Bowen is an unlikely opponent of DREs, which typically allow citizens to vote via touchscreen. Since being elected to the California state Legislature in 1992, Bowen has helped pioneer the use of Web technology to interact with voters and promote government transparency. She was elected secretary of state in 2006. Bowen talked to Government Technology about her e-voting decision and the future of electronic voting. She also discusses some of the other technology challenges facing California. ROCKING AUG_08 32 http://www.govtech.com
