Having served as an Officer of Elections, Secretary of the Electoral Board, and Precinct Chief for a number of elections over the past decade or so, I think the WINVOTE DRE voting machines are very good.  They seldom have problems and when they do they are very easy to re-boot and no votes are lost.  When we close down after a day of voting, WINVOTE DRE gives us multiple copies - by machine and by location - of the votes cast on the machines.  If our WINVOTE DREs are decertified, we'll have to spend additional money and re-train 30-50 OEs.  Why do that?  We already have good machines and knowledgeable OEs.

Respectfully,
