High-profile problems involving electronic pollbooks in recent years have opened the door for those peddling election conspiracies
checking in voters related to a data error that was quickly identified and resolved. Trump seized on the early reports, calling the situation in Detroit"REALLY BAD" in a social media post and urging people to"Protest, Protest, Protest!"that are not directly connected to the internet, many electronic pollbook systems are connected by design. Some are quite sophisticated.
The lack of national standards has left state and local election officials on their own. For the 2020 election, 15 states, including Arizona, Florida and Nevada, did not require any type of electronic pollbook testing or certification, according to federal data. Aware of the risks, many election officials require back-up measures, such as paper copies of voter lists at polling locations. Election officials and experts note that one advantage of national testing standards for voting machines is the ability to assure voters that they have been properly scrutinized.
Thomas Hicks, chair of the commission, said the agency is making progress on its own pilot program, but that it was unlikely testing standards could be in place before the 2024 election. Experts said having national testing standards would go a long way to reducing costs of the systems and lessen the burden on state and local election officials to navigate security on their own. Companies that make the equipment have expressed support for the effort.
