Our U.S. voting and elections systems are still insecure and wide-open to vote fraud and voter disenfranchisement.

Here are recommendations for federal legislation to ensure the integrity of our democracy:

Here is a list of experts that we recommend that the U.S. Congress consult with:

http://electionarchive.org/ucvInfo/US/ExpertsList.pdf

on questions and details concerning federal legislation that would ensure the integrity of our democracy. We wanted to keep the list to a managable size. The experts we've recommended know many other experts who they can confer with.

For ordinary citizens to exercise oversight over our election integrity and be empowered to detect vote miscount and voter disenfranchisement, it is vital that:

1. Sufficient, transparent, verifiable manual audits be conducted of machine vote counts, and

2. Election records and data be publicly released

prior to any election results being certified.

Please contact your US House Representative and Senators and urge them to support our recommendations and to consult with independent experts prior to finalizing the wording of any legislation.

To have any possibility for having auditable voting system and sufficient manual audits of vote counts in place by the November 2008 election, federal legislation must be passed and funded in early 2007.

Please contact the staff of your representative and senators before the end of January.

Thank you very much!
