The committee said on Thursday that it would recommend that Gov. Jeb Bush and the Legislature adopt a statewide electronic system that could eliminate nearly all voter mistakes by next year's elections for Congress and governor. The committee, which was appointed by the governor, called for a statewide ballot system in which voters used a pencil to fill in bubbles next to their candidates' names. If there is a mistake, the system would reject the ballot on the spot and voters could immediately correct their errors. Under the punchcard system, voters place a cardboard ballot in a holder and then use a pin or stylus to punch out perforated squares that correspond to their candidates. Ballots are then counted by computer.
Critics say that system is prone to mistakes.
