Voting Machines Should Not Be Used
I. INTRODUCTION
Attention Getter: Imagine yourself going to the polls and casting your vote for your favorite
politician on an electronic voting machine also known as e-voting. You get to the machine where
you’re planning to cast your vote, but it turns out that the machine you are using can get hacked
under two minutes. This leads to the following question: Why has the government not taken
action to improve or remove e-voting?
Relevance: According to Alice B. Lloyd, after Russia interfered with the 2016 election, congress
approved a $380 million budget to improve electronic voting machine systems. Yet, only
Virginia has replaced their outdated machine, leaving 13 states still dependent on electronic
devices. There are five states including who want to improve their system; but, they still can’t
afford to upgrade to paper ballots (Lloyd, 2018). Keep in mind, that in the 2016 presidential
election, approximately 138 million of eligible voters voted (Penn Library, 2018). This
demonstrates that 138 millions of people’s voice may not be heard. Voting is a right and
privilege that eligible voters are given and we need to make sure that every vote counts.
I want to persuade you to begin spreading the word about the flaws of e-voting and make your
voice be heard among your community. This will help us to achieve a better and more
sustainable future--creating and sustaining peace, justice, and stronger institutions.
Overview: Today, I am going to talk to you about the flaws of e-voting including: lack of
accuracy, possibility of error, and hacking; and I will give you some solutions you can take to
protect voters and their voice in society.
Transition: The question regarding how safe voting machines are, brings up an ethical analysis.

What on earth is going on with American politics? Fake news? Eric Merkley demystifies our instincts to develop bias, how they are targeted by politics, and how to overcome them to make our political discourse more productive, civil and factual.
Eric Merkley is a Ph.D. candidate at UBC’s Department of Political Science and a Joseph-Armand Bombardier Scholar. His research focuses on how citizens make judgments on public policy in the context of limited information and motivation. His recent ongoing projects explore why American voters polarized on climate change, and more broadly on the conditions under which public preferences may diverge from expert opinion, such as on free trade, and genetically modified foods. Eric has provided expert commentary on U.S. elections, polling and public opinion, and campaign strategy for outlets such as the CBC, Breakfast Television, Roundhouse Radio, and News 1130. He has also recently worked as a Research Associate at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, specializing in agriculture policy.

Ipsos has many of the leading polling experts from around the world, and we brought them together in London to provide unique combined insight. Our panel members from the US, Canada, Italy and Sweden talked us through the role and challenges of polling in their countries and what we need to do to get it right. They also updated us on the political landscape of their countries, with outlines of the major elections they have recently had, and in the case of the US, the on-going race to the White House.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. The EFCA Debate In Colorado
Key Findings From A Colorado Statewide Survey
January 25, 2010
Thursday, January 28, 2010
2. Research Methodology
On behalf of the Workforce Fairness Institute, Public Opinion
Strategies is pleased to present the key findings of a Colorado
statewide telephone survey among voters and union
households. The study was completed December 12-15, 2009
among 500 registered voters (margin of error of +4.38%) and
among 300 union households (margin of error of +5.66%) .

4. 4 The Things You Need To Know
1
While union leaders tout the importance of passing
the Employee Free Choice Act, few union
households are familiar with the proposal.
When they hear what the proposed legislation will
2
do, solid majorities of union households and voters
statewide oppose it.
And, voters and union households say they are
3
more likely to support a candidate who will vote to
oppose changing the way unions are formed and the
bargaining process.
4
This data shows that voters are very unhappy with
Congress and Senator Michael Bennett has some
significant political obstacles to overcome.

A Look At The
Key EFCA Metrics

6. Nearly four out of ten voters have heard
something about EFCA; awareness is lower
among current union households.
“How much, if anything, have you seen, read, or heard about the Employee Free Choice Act,
also known as “card check” – a proposal in Congress to change labor laws in this country?”

7. What We Did
We tested the two key components of EFCA:
“As you may know, the United States Congress is debating legislation to change several
key labor laws in this country. Because this legislation is long, we have divided it into two
parts. After I read each part, please tell me if you FAVOR or OPPOSE this particular aspect
of the legislation.”
“Change the way unions are formed. Instead of holding a federally
supervised secret ballot election to decide whether to unionize, union
organizers would be allowed to ask employees to sign a card saying they
support forming a union. Once a majority of employees sign these cards,
the union would officially represent that company's entire workforce.”
“Change the bargaining process. This legislation would give the newly
formed union and the employer 90 days to reach a contract agreement or
else the matter will be handed over to federal arbitrators. It would be those
arbitrators who would determine the wages, benefits and other terms of the
contract that employees would be required to work under for two years.”

13. What We Did
We also tested:
“In addition to the two parts of this proposal we have already discussed, the
legislation would also require union elections to take place within 10 days after the
union presents business owners with signed cards from 30 per cent of the
employees AND it would require business owners to allow union organizers to talk to
employees about unionization at the workplace during company time.”
“Some people say that business owners often drag out the
union election process, making union campaigns long and
costly, discouraging union efforts.”
…While…
“Other people say that according to the federal agency in charge of
overseeing labor relations, 90 percent of union elections take place
within 60 days and that the process in place now is working.”

would you prefer: That government arbitrators have the ability to determine the terms of a
