Comfidex Introduces New Voting System That Combines the Benefits of Electronic Voting with the Security of a Paper Trail; 'VoteFiler' Uniquely Addresses Voting and Vote Tabulation Concerns Raised Following the 2000 and 2004 U.S. Elections.

WASHINGTON -- The last two U.S. Presidential election cycles uncovered significant, systemic problems plaguing the nation's antiquated voting systems. This has led to loud demands from public officials, citizens and the media for improved voting technology and better vote tabulation methods. Despite this significant outcry, surprisingly few realistic solutions have surfaced.

Today Comfidex Corp., an established vendor in the electronic forms processing and validation space, is addressing the issue with the introduction of a new voting solution called "VoteFiler(TM)." VoteFiler is a voting system built on patented technology that combines the benefits of electronic voting with the security and ability to audit that only comes from a clear paper trail. Through creative design and the use of advanced bar-code technology, VoteFiler allows individuals to securely create anonymous, though verifiable, paper ballots that are then scanned and tabulated on Election Day.

Comfidex is unveiling VoteFiler today at a 3:00 PM press conference at FOSE 2005 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

"VoteFiler uniquely addresses the procedural and technical voting issues that have caused such frustration and concern in recent elections, and it does so in an evolutionary, cost-effective manner," said Bill Stratigos, president and COO of Comfidex. "By using innovative design, off-the-shelf hardware and our patented technology, VoteFiler is designed to complement existing voting systems and provide an inexpensive and secure voting process."

VoteFiler's key attributes include:

--Voter authentication and security - VoteFiler has the ultimate back up. It creates a verifiable paper trail.

--Evolutionary, transitional voting solution -- VoteFiler is designed to initially work side-by-side with existing voting systems.

--Speed - While voters who have used VoteFiler to create their ballots will still have to go to the polls on Election Day, they will not have to stand in long lines for traditional voting machines. VoteFiler enables express lanes for voting.

--Cost -- VoteFiler does not require any expensive, proprietary voting machines. Any off-the-shelf hardware can be used. Only a standard Internet browser is required.

--Ease of use - No hanging chads or confusing ballots. An easy to navigate Web-based interface is available prior to Election Day for use in your own home.

--Voting accuracy - VoteFiler provides voting accuracy and recount capability, a much-simplified absentee voting option and preserves voter anonymity.

"VoteFiler is unique in its use of patented, inexpensive, off-the-shelf equipment to support secure, anonymous and auditable paper-based voting," said Steve Weissman, President, Kinetic Information LLC. "What makes VoteFiler truly interesting is that it takes nothing more to run than network-connectable personal computers, is not at all disruptive and can be phased in at whatever pace is desired, making it a 'must see' for anyone involved in the procurement of electronic voting systems."
