The history and politics of voting technology

in quest of integrity and public confidence

"Saltman traces the evolution of voting technology, from voice to digital, highlighting how the antiquated systems in use today are a legacy of the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century and the early computer revolution of the 1950s. Why certain technologies are adopted rather than others, and the tangled responsibilities of federal, state, and local authorities in facilitating, monitoring, and counting the votes, create a sad picture of this elemental civic duty."--Jacket.
