Nearly two-thirds of state legislatures nationwide have implemented electronic voting systems, with Wisconsin, Texas, and Virginia being the first to install them

Hawaii's legislative chambers already have projectors installed, offering a low-cost option for displaying electronic voting results without major renovations

More than 40% of state legislative chambers have upgraded their voting systems since 1990
