URGENT! FINAL push for paper ballot voting reform HR 550!
TELL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TO PASS H.R. 550 AS WRITTEN

In the next two weeks there will be a final push to get H.R. 550, a bill introduced by Rep. Holt of New Jersey, on the House floor. H.R. 550 would protect the integrity of our elections by requiring a voter verified paper record of every vote, requiring mandatory random hand counted audits to verify the accuracy of electronic tallies, which is the only way to ever conduct an audit we can trust. It will also prohibit the use of secret software and wireless communication devices in voting machines.

The recent change in leadership of the Committee on House Administration has created a new opportunity for passage of this vital election integrity measure. Previous constituent meetings in June and August of 2005 were a huge success, generating 24 new co-sponsors on the bill from both parties. In addition, 27 States have now passed voter-verified paper record requirements.

THERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP -- lobby in person in Washington, D.C. or your home district . . . and/or sign the petition:

IF YOU CAN COME TO WASHINGTON DC ON APRIL 6 & 7 TO LOBBY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO COSPONSOR HR 550, CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP:

3. Done. My added text was:
ok, I lost it, lol, but it essentially said that I INSIST you pass this because it is the only right thing to do and that ANYONE who opposes paper verification and transparent elections can ONLY be doing so because they are a cheat and a traitor.

12. My added text was
We need to be assured that our vote counts. Especially electronic and computer voting machines. I am knowledgeable in computers and I know for a fact that glitches can and often do happen. Just ask anyone who has seen the blue screen of death on their PC. Electronics are susceptible to magnetic discharges and power surges as are computers. Computers are also ripe for hackers. Machines are a wonderful tool but not infallible, as are paper ballots but one could have checks and balances with both. Rep. Rush Holt reintroduced the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act (HR 550)and it will protect both the voter and the candidate. It will make recounts possible with a verifiable paper trail.
