Jonathan, 25, recalls his father being so disheartened by the developments during the loss of more than 200,000 votes in Florida and an estimated 4 to 6 million votes nationwide during in 2000 that he repeatedly sent him to Wal-Mart for at least 20 video cassette tapes to record the daily television coverage until the U. S. Supreme Court stopped the recounting of votes in Florida.

Ultimately, Jonathan Gibbs recalls, “He just figured out the way to fix this thing is to have an audit system. Whenever there’s a problem with finance or numbers, you need some kind of accounting system.”

In short, TruVote allows voters to touch the names of their candidates on a computer screen and receive paper receipts with an exclusive validation number. Then, as a backup, they could go to a Web site, punch in the validation number, and receive confirmation that their vote was recorded.
