ANTI-TRANSPARENCY: Voice voting has long provided a clear and public record of proceedings that anyone can witness and understand. Replacing it with exclusively electronic voting reduces the transparency of the process and makes it harder for citizens present to independently verify how votes are cast. Longstanding practices that promote openness and transparency should not be abandoned without a compelling justification.
