ES&S ExpressVote XL

Express Vote Hybrid

• Security experts say these systems can be hacked to add fake votes to paper ballots.
• They sometimes score poorly with voters w/ disabilities.
• These voting machines have an “Auto-Cast” option that security experts call “Permission to Cheat.”

⛔ Reject touch screen voting machines:

ES&S Express Vote 

• Touch screen systems have many security risks, and if not calibrated correctly can pick a different candidate than the one that was selected by the voter. They can also be programmed to do this with malware.

⛔ Reject counting votes with barcodes: 

• The ES&S ExpressVote & The Express Vote XL count votes with a barcode. 
• Barcodes add new vectors for hacking elections and are not transparent.
• The barcode-based setup “makes a mockery of the notion that the ballot is ‘voter-verifiable,’” said Duncan Buell, a computer science professor at the University of South Carolina, because “what the voter verifies is not what is tallied.” - Politico Magazine

Security experts recommend hand-marked paper ballots for most voters, and non-tabulating ballot-marking devices (BMD’s) for voters with disabilities. Some “hybrid” voting machines merge a scanner and a BMD printer into the same path. Security experts say these hybrids can be hacked to add fake votes to paper ballots.
