Emm Pros And Cons

Decent Essays
In my opinon, i would have to agree that using EVMs are a great tool and should be used by all states. I say this only because in the passage it states that 20 percent of people with disabilities are less likely to vote, mostly from having no access there. Also i believe the goverment would have to make sure these EVMs are updated and unhackable. The hacking part may cause a major concern because its been happening so much in politics. If there is a way to put the EVMs on a private Wi-Fi that may be an oppostion. The EMVs should maybe go on a test phase in large cities, and should get a vote on if they prefer using the electronic voting ballot or the paper voting ballot. Its way more easy for people who speak a diffrent language to use

    In the editorial “Electronic Voting Delivers Accuracy: Opposing View” by Brian Kemp, the author takes a stance agreeing with the idea that electronic voting systems are far more accurate than the old-school paper ballots. The editorial focuses on how a paper trail of voting is not necessary in today’s day and age. Paper audits can be positively influential, but they are not a requirement for correct representation anymore. Many people think that the system of voting on paper is the safer route, but they do not consider the fact that paper ballots can be forged and changed very easily. Electronic voting centers do not use the internet therefore they are difficult to hack into.…

    EMTALA: Ant-Dumping Law The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) was established by Congress in 1986 and is considered the only universal legal right to health care in the United States.

    As the world increases its dependence on technology, it is inevitable that this technology is brought into voting machines. Electronic voting machines are a relatively new invention which allow voters to vote via a computer rather than a ballot sheet. Some people are uncomfortable with electronic voting machines either because of fear that they can be hacked or because of lack of electronic literacy; however, electronic voting machines should be used because of their easier and more secure vote counting, and their ease of access to voters with disabilities or lack of fluency in Enlgish. The strongest complaint of electronic voting machines is their ability to be hacked, but this fear is highly unreasonable. In the article, Everyone…

    Vast amounts of voters have been turned away due to not having the “sufficient identification” to appease the polling workers. In Texas alone, nearly 1.4 million people were disenfranchised by the new voting laws (Rhodan 1). It is baffling that the disenfranchisement of millions is noted as a worthy and justifiable result of “solving” a problem that does not exist. Not only are people being denied the right to vote, but they are also being purged off of voter rolls. Such is the case in Virginia, where 38,000 unsuspecting individuals were thrown off the register due to the new laws (Liebelson 1).…

    In today’s society we have all kinds of jobs that require us to leave our hometown that we are living in to go on a business trip of some sorts. We should develop a law that allows us to extend our voting regions. Many people do not go vote because they are out of town the days of elections and simply can’t vote because we are designated only one place only to go vote. If the government would keep track of all the citizens personal data like our name, birthdate, and social security number. They could make all of our state identification cards swipe into a system to let them know we are a registered voter and are able to vote when we go to cast our ballot.…

    Political Power Our text identifies multiple contributing factors that limit the political power of Latinos as a group in the United States. However, there is a strong argument that non-citizenship and poor English, language skills are the two main contributing factors. Major political parties are recognizing the weight the Hispanic population could carry in an election, and have begun to reach out to members of the community. A multilingual ballot is now required by Federal law in districts who have at least 5 percent of the eligible voting population that do not speak English.…

    Hello Professor Walls, Thank you for posting this information because it makes more sense to me. In reading our reading this week, I was still confused, and I have always been confused by how this works and why states with smaller populations in comparison with larger populated states have different numbers of Electoral College votes. After reading your post and watching the video, it seems fairer to those in smaller populated states to have a voice. Besides, just because one state has a smaller number of people, it does not mean these states should not have some voice since they live within the country as well. I also understand that if the majority vote was used, candidates would not pay any attention to the smaller states and what is…

    Voting Processes There are four ways in which to vote and they are Personal, Postal, Electronic and By Proxy: o Personal: Voting personally means that an individual votes by going to a polling station and filling in a ballot paper that they then put into a ballot box. All voting is done anonymously and therefore each individual votes in separate polling booths. This stops any forestalling and voting intimidation. However, voting personally also takes time and money because staff are needed in order to count the votes.…
