Citing security concerns, Colorado has become the first state to stop counting ballots with printed QR codes.
The state's secretary general told CNN she felt it was a necessary step to ensure Colorado maintains its position as a national leader on election security. The decision is a further step toward prioritizing the role of human eye, rather than computers to count votes.
In the hypothetical scenario where that machine is hacked, the argument against barcode voting goes, a voter would see their intended choice printed out, but that QR or barcode could show a different candidate if the machine had been hacked. Will other states follow?Some election security hardliners have called for every state to follow Colorado, like Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who's introduced legislation to make barcode voting illegal.
