Election Systems & Software Selected to Provide Voting Systems to State of Ohio OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ohio Secretary of State today announced that Election Systems & Software, Inc. (ES&S), the world's largest and most experienced provider of election management solutions, has been selected as one of the vendors to provide election management products and services to the state's 88 counties. "We sincerely appreciate the trust and confidence that Ohio has placed in Election Systems & Software," declared Aldo Tesi, ES&S president and CEO. "We are excited to continue our long-standing relationship with the counties and voters in Ohio. Our election professionals are ready to provide every county the highest level of support to successfully manage the transition to a new voting system. Voting system integrity -- specifically security, reliability, and accuracy -- has been the very foundation of all the election management solutions that we have built over the past three decades. As a result, ES&S has designed systems that specifically satisfy the unique and rigorous requirements of the election world." ES&S voting systems already support 38 Ohio counties such as Mahoning County where iVotronic(TM) Touch Screen Voting System units are now installed. "We wanted everyone in Ohio to know that Mahoning County runs clean, fair elections. That's why we chose Election Systems & Software," declared Michael Sciortino, director of the Mahoning County Ohio board of elections. "Thanks to their state-of-the-art touch screen voting systems, combined with their experience and training, we're the first Ohio county to use 21st century technology to protect the integrity of elections." "ES&S utilizes a patented, closed, election-specific system that is not available in the public domain," added Tesi. "For example, the ES&S iVotronic Touch Screen Voting System uses an unique, patented Personal Electronic Ballot (PEB) activator cartridge which is not commercially available. Our iVotronic voting units are multi-password protected, and they are not networked. In addition, our proprietary application protocols and secure, redundant memory devices make our solutions significantly less susceptible to external penetration." "The ES&S software program used to create an election database and the software/firmware which power the iVotronic are not publicly available," continued Tesi. "ES&S has meticulously striven to
