After a court-mandated retesting of electronic voting equipment,
Colorado's Republican Secretary of State Mike Coffman decided to
decertify
electronic voting machines in the state due to security and accuracy
problems. The testing found that the system had a one percent
error rate when counting ballots, i.e. for every 100 ballots tested, there was an error with one of the ballots. In the 2006 election,
2,533,919 votes were cast and, according to the testing, 25,339 ballots would have had an error.
