[NFBMT] Convention question

[rixmix2009 at gmail.com]

Does Montana currently have a paper backup ballot?
This is somewhat unrelated, I realize to electronic ballot machines.
But I am concerned generally about election security in states that do not
have the paper backup, when electronic voting is used.

I am sorry that we could not have the machines in Missoula. But I appreciate
very much, Robert, Jim, and the local election officials for cooperating
with our request to have a demonstration.

Just to clarify, Robert Jaquiss, our 2019 Montana Convention Chairman, asked
the Missoula County Clerk and Recorder to demonstrate a new voting machine
at our Convention.  I also was involved in the last few days of the
arrangements.  Missoula County did not have one of the new machines, but
they tried to get the vender to demonstrate one for us.  That fell through
the day before the Convention because the vender encountered a last minute
schedule conflict.  All this does not matter much because Montana will not
deploy the new voting machines and the new vote counting technology until
after 2021.  My earlier e-mail explains why this delay is occurring.  The
delayed implementation means the NFB-MT will hold two more conventions
before the new machines will be put to use, so we have lots of time to give
them a whirl over the next couple of years. 

Best!

No one was asked if they could bring the machine, where something came up
and it didn't happen.
