Honorable Commissioners and County Manager:
On September 10, 2003, the Miami Beach City Commission passed and adopted
Resolution No. 2003-25340 (attached) relating to Elections; requesting the Miami-Dade
County Manager ensure that, regardless of voting systems and technologies, there is
produced a voter-verified paper record of every ballot cast, as an element of minimum
standards of integrity, not later than the 2004 General Election process, and supporting the
"Help America Vote Act Of 2002" ("HAVA") requirements of a permanent paper record with
manual audit capacity to be available as an official record for any recount conducted, as
well as providing an opportunity for voters to correct any error before a permanent vote is
recorded.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert E. Parcher
