City election. Not too surprising. What is interesting though is the ViewPad
1000's. I have thought about
getting one in for evaluation for the precinct control center, but they are
like $2000
street price, so I never considered them in the running. As to VoteHere’s technical
model, must be big pain to network all those ViewPad’s
to city hall, eh? Ken -----Original Message----- Down upon the Suwanee Government Computer News - STATE LINES Vol. 21 No. 12 05/27/02 When voters in Suwanee, Ga., vote in the special election in the city
hall building on Aug. 20, they'll be the first voters in the state to use an electronic touch-screen voting system for two consecutive elections in
a row. Voters will choose a replacement for former city councilman Andrew
Krieman, who moved to New Jersey early this year. The city chose a voting system from VoteHere Inc. of Bellevue, Wash.
Suwanee will use VoteHere Version 3.1 software. Written in Linux, VoteHere runs
on ViewPad 1000 tablet PCs from ViewSonic Corp. of Walnut, Calif. The
tablets each have an 800-MHz Intel Celeron processor and 128M of RAM. Each tablet will sit on a table with privacy screens, said Jennifer
Curley, director of government affairs for VoteHere. The tablets are connected
to a Compaq server inside city hall. |
