Tell Congress to BAN Touch Screen Voting Now
Florida the site of so many national election debacles already has moved to ban touch screen voting (Direct Record Electronic or DRE). Without an actual paper ballot record we can never be secure in our votes.
ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/ban_dre.php
You can't audit a memory chip, especially where its contents can be secretly changed at any time. Congress should follow Florida's lead and outlaw this fundamentally flawed technology.
The proposed Holt bill H.R. 811 [text of bill], does not go nearly far enough, and in fact as it currently stands would endorse the worst of the current problems. It is not just the open invitation to fraud. Election after election, thousands of reports show that DRE voting machines are disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters across the country. Voters are confused over how to use them. They stand in line for hours because the machines are broken down, or they leave because they don't have time to wait. Poll workers, even with careful training, don't know how to help when something goes wrong, and something often does.
There will be a critical vote on this bill this week. Please write your members of Congress and tell them to fix H.R. 811 now.
KUCINICH REMAINS OPPOSED TO H.R. 811
Dennis Kucinich, our hero on so many issues, maintains his declared position that he cannot support H.R. 811 unless it does something to address the real problems with electronic voting. Please consider making a donation to encourage him to continue standing strong.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
