TO COMMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE ELECTION COMMISSION FOR ITS NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE APPLICATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA FINISHING SECOND IN THE DIGITAL DEMOCRACY PORTION OF THE 2001 DIGITAL STATE SURVEY.
Whereas, the Center for Digital Government and the Progress and Freedom Foundation recently completed the fourth annual Digital State Survey; and
Whereas, this prestigious and comprehensive study measures how effectively the fifty states are using digital technologies to improve the delivery of vital services and information; and
Whereas, the Digital Democracy portion of this important survey examines the application of digital technologies to permit online access to legislative information, election materials, voter and candidate information, and electronic voting; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina was particularly recognized for being the second state to provide online access to its voter registration database to all county boards of voter registration; and
Whereas, without question, the South Carolina State Election Commission's efficient and innovative use of the most current digital technology in voter registration and election return reporting enabled South Carolina to receive a score of 99.52 out of a possible 100. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, commend the South Carolina State Election Commission for its notable accomplishments in the application of digital technologies, which contributed significantly to the State of South Carolina finishing second in the Digital Democracy portion of the 2001 Digital State Survey.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be delivered to Marlon E. Kimpson, Chairman of the South Carolina State Election Commission.
