There is absolutely nothing wrong with our voting systems. Just because someone could steal our votes, doesn't mean they would GEEZ!!
What is his problem? !##!#$
Kucinich Introduces HR 6200 - HAND counted, PAPER ballots - everywhere.
"I'm at the We Count 2006 Conference in Cleveland. After a break for dinner, we resumed with an address by Dennis Kucinich, D, OH. He made the remarks below and then announced that he's introduced H.R. 6200, a bill to guarantee that the 2006 election will be conducted on "hand counted, paper ballots, counted and posted at the precinct level" with the process open to all to observe. This was a real stunner. There is some legislation out there on stop gap measures but this is the whole 9 yards, the ultimate in election integrity - Machines are Gone under this legislation...GONE."
When asked why he was one of the few Democrats to take the elections issue seriously, Kucinich shot back "The exception to the rule proves there's a new rule" and got a huge round of applause.
"One of the most important meetings going on in this state maybe the country." Referring to "We Count 2006"
Two issues I hear about constantly:
- denial of access to health care 50 million Americans without health care...
Conyers-Kucinich Bill
- equal interest - "people are deeply concerned about the election process."
"You're holding the light of democracy for the whole country."
"our ability to have control over our institutions" is at risk when the procedures of elections are
controlled...
Referring to Ohio's disastrous 2004 election he said "We understand why there is such great concern"
Without free and fair elections, "everything is at risk...a cause that's so important, it's a measure of the courage of the people" who call attention to the problem.
"We have a mission to make sure that elections are on the level."
"There are lingering questions about the 2004 election and there ought to be."
"Even verified voter paper trails are not an adequate solution to safeguarding our elections."
"Distrust is a form of disenfranchisement....election integrity ... voters have a right to know that the vote cast of for the candidate that they selected."
