Minimized disruptions on Election Day

We had nothing but grand remarks about how well that (ExpressVote and ExpressPoll) operated and how easy it was to use. I think West Virginia just continues to move in the right direction to increase voter confidence across the state.

Not one vote changed. Not up, down or sideways. In a world of unrest and election fraud accusations, I’m totally confident in our new machines.
Diana Cromley, County Clerk, Mason County, WV
In each audit unit, the hand-to-eye audit was 100% consistent with the machine tally. The audit did not result in a change in the number of votes counted for any candidate.
Michael H. Harper, Clerk, Hudson County, New Jersey Board of Elections, November 2022 post-election audit.
In all 15 counties which were the subject of the audit, the voting equipment rendered a faithful and accurate count of the ballots… It is the conclusion of the SBEC that the ExpressVote system accurately tabulated the election results.

CISA-tested security
ExpressPoll is proven secure and reliable and has been tested by the CISA Critical Product Evaluation (CPE) program and by the Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Rapid Architecture-Based Election Technology Verification (RABET-VTM) program.
My IT staff is super smart, and they tested everything and tried to break it. We all loved ES&S’ ExpressVote XL. They couldn’t break it.
