Dating from mid-October 1974 to shortly after the Douglas County Primary Election on Tuesday, May 9, 1978. A 68-page narrative of this turbulent period in WLC history, with numerous illustrations, marketing brochures, election tallies, and newspaper & magazine publications, compiled and authored by John V. McMillin. Identical to the copy I provided recently to Douglas W. Jones, U of I professor who is an expert in the history, usage, and strengths/weaknesses of various ballot counting methodology and technology, and a vocal critic of the E-voting systems now spreading across the USA. A DVD copy of this hard-copy report (and additional files/photos on the DVD), as provided to Jones, is also available from JVM upon request. This publication represents only the 'tip of the iceberg' in regard to the large quantity of original archival documents in my possession as related to the WLC engineering ballot-scanning technology, the systems built, performance features, and technical maintenance. If interested, my intent will be to eventually turn all of this material over to the U of I archivist. The present document includes a copy of my 16 OCT 1974 letter to a young Robert J. Urosevich, following his visit a few days earlier to WLC in Iowa City to discuss our possible interest in building a vote-tallying system which he felt he could market nationwide. We took the bait and proceeded accordingly. After experiencing a long trail of joyful 'up's' and painful 'down's - both by WLC and Urosevich's Data Mark Systems company - he is now president of the Diebold Election Systems division, a major enterprise, and he has sold over $100 million (my estimate) of E-voting systems nationwide, but not without his share of headaches, controversy, and lawsuits
