Preserving a Piece of History - The Votomatic III Voting Machine from the 2000 Presidential Election
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant artifact from American political history - the Votomatic III voting machine used in the highly contested 2000 Presidential election. Created around 1990, this mysterious device was an integral part of shaping democracy during that era. The photograph showcases the Votomatic III folded up neatly into a sleek metal briefcase with a black plastic handle, making it easily portable for use at various polling locations. Its exterior is adorned with four circular rubber pads on each side, ensuring stability and durability throughout its usage. Notably, two stickers provide essential information about its origin and purpose; one near the handle displays a barcode and reads "PROPERTY OF LEE COUNTY ELECTIONS 00000104" while another on top boldly states "CES VOTOMATIC". As we delve deeper into African American heritage and cultural significance, this image serves as an educational tool within our National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). It represents not only advancements in technology but also highlights the crucial role played by African Americans in shaping politics and democracy. Displayed alongside other ballot boxes and historical objects, this votomatic stands as a testament to progress made over decades. With its aluminum-metal-plastic construction reflecting industrial innovation of the time, it symbolizes both national pride and democratic principles upheld by our great nation. Through preserving such artifacts at esteemed institutions like NMAAHC under Smithsonian Institution's care, we ensure that future generations can explore their country's rich political past while appreciating how far they have come. This print reminds us all to cherish our right to vote—a fundamental pillar upon which America stands strong today.
