Election Trust Acquires VoteHere Mail-in Balloting Tools
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) February 16, 2009 -- Election Trust LLC announced today that it has acquired Mail-in Ballot Tracker™ (MiBT) along with related election administration licenses and patents from Dategrity Corporation (formerly VoteHere, Inc.).
Election Trust, an election services integrator and technical support provider for counties and public agencies across the United States, now takes full ownership of MiBT and a family of innovative election management tools with plans to aggressively develop them to meet current and future market demand.
"Across America the steady move to Vote-by-Mail - as either an optional or primary voting platform - drives a real and growing requirement for election officials to better deliver, track, tabulate and report mail-in balloting," said John Bodin, Managing Partner of Election Trust. "With this acquisition, Election Trust will be the vendor to make VBM more efficient, transparent and accountable."
Among the assets Election Trust has acquired from Dategrity/VoteHere® are patented procedural methods and encryption technology that not only improve accountability for the election administrator but enable the mail-in voter to confirm her ballot has been successfully counted.
Bodin added, "While mailing in a ballot is convenient for the voter, typically she doesn't have documented proof that her ballot choices actually survived postal delivery and ballot processing. Election Trust's VBM toolkit provides that voter such assurance without sacrificing her right to a secret ballot."

Post-Election Audits Can Restore Voter Confidence in Election Results, Says American Statistical Association
In light of the results of a Washington Post-ABC poll released this week, the American Statistical Association (ASA) has reiterated its position that post-election audits can play a critical role in restoring confidence in election results. An article about the poll in the Post stated that only about a third of Ohio voters had confidence that votes in their state would be counted accurately. ASA says post-election audits could verify election results and assure the public that vote counts are correct, and that statisticians can play a significant role in the audit process.
