BBV: CT using e-voting machines w/paper trail

[Bushfire]

As elections go, tomorrow's may not seem terribly sexy in Connecticut. There are some municipal races; there are some referendums.

But these elections are big news to a small New Jersey company that hopes to show America the future of electronic voting.

Avante International Technology Inc. of Princeton Junction will deploy its new electronic "touch screen" system in four Connecticut towns. Avante is vying with three larger rivals -- Diebold Election Systems, Sequoia Voting Systems and Daneher Controls -- to impress voters and election officials in the Constitution State and, by extension, across the nation.

New Jersey and other states are scrambling to replace outmoded voting equipment before next year's presidential election, using millions of federal dollars aimed at averting a repeat of the 2000 fiasco in Florida.
