Lets start now for a DU Amendment on the ballot in '08.
Let's get verified voting paper trail on the ballot in '08. We could have a two-year DU project that would make evoting machines without a voter-verified and recountable paper trail illegal in the state of Florida.

We are still nursing our black eye from 2000, and now the mess in the FL-13th. We could become a voting model for the state.

With the teamwork and legwork that we Florida DUers could provide, we could get this done-- maybe be an inspiration for other states.

I don't want to leave it up to lawmakers to decide on machines that put them in office.

2. You will need over 600,000 signatures to get it on the ballot and
now that Amendment 3 has passed, it will have to be approved by 60% of those voting.

3. I know. The question is whether we have the manpower at DU to
get it done. We have a year and a half.

4. I think starting now while issues are still fresh increases the chances
of getting this done. Most people won't give a rip in a month or so.
