WHY POLLWORKERS FOR DEMOCRACY?

"Because much of the study depended on the reports of P4D pollworkers who could actually report on what happened during the course of election day, this is by far the most thorough look at e-voting that's ever been attempted." -Joan Krawitz, Director, VoteTrustUSA

"Pollworker input was so important to the report -- informed, intelligent, and damning for the machines. They added authority to the material that wouldn't have been there with only voter incidents and news reports." -- John Gideon, Voters Unite
