Regarding “The way we vote/Back to the future, with more confidence” (Editorial, June 19):

The Union-Tribune hits the mark on e-voting. Touch-screen voting machines are safer, more secure, and more accessible for voters than traditional paper ballots. Despite the efforts of conspiracy theorists and anti-technology activists, e-voting has earned the confidence of the American people, a high measure of success by any standard.

As a policy fellow in technology studies at the Pacific Research Institute, I can say that San Diegans should continue to expect the best from their voting experience on election day.
