Call your senators for great victory of Democratic Justice!!!

Call your senators for great victory of Democratic Justice!!!

Here I go again:

It's not as sexy as the NIE and perhaps in the end more worthwhile, but please call your Congress People and inform them that you support Rush Holt's bill, HR 550, an amendment to the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require a voter-verified permanent paper record or hard copy under title III of such Act, and for other purposes.

From his site:

The bill would require all voting machines to produce an actual paper record that voters can check to ensure the accuracy of their votes, and that election officials can use to verify the accuracy of the vote count in the event of a computer malfunction, hacking, or other irregularity. It would also call for a percentage of random audits in every state, and at least one in every County, as an automatic check on the reported results.

I'm all about this. I fully support the idea of verified voting when it comes to electronic voting machines. It is the only way to be sure that there are no electronic hijinks. At least one member of the Washington Post Editorial writers agrees. So call your congress people up and tell them you support it and ask them what their position is.

You can find your congress person on house.gov with your zip+4. I'll update if I find a similar bill for the senate.
