Help ensure that every American vote will be counted in the 2008 election and beyond
URGENT -HAS TO BE DONE TODAY
Sorry for the short notice, but this comment WILL count. PLEASE SEND FAR AND WIDE AS SOON AS YOU HAVE SENT YOUR EMAIL. Remember to include your name and address.
We have 36 hours to help ensure that every American vote will be counted in the 2008 election and beyond. The Federal Election Assistance Commission closes the public comment period on their proposed Voluntary Voting System Guidelines at 5 p.m. this Friday, September 30, 2005.
NOW IS THE TIME!!!
Please send an email with the following phrase or whatever you would like to express on the proposed guidelines immediately to votingsystemguidelines@eac.gov . Many technical people are submitting detailed comments, but we learned yesterday that governments around the world are WATCHING to see what America - YOU - think.
I want Section 6.8 to require a voter-verified paper audit trail for ALL voters and voting systems. It should be mandatory. The reasons why should be obvious.
The current proposal does NOT require voter-verified paper audit trail.
(I also added the following:)
Also to be included in the proposed guidelines:
- No secret, proprietary code for any voting systems.
- No voting machine companies to be used as the "central tabulating" center during elections or in any other capacity.
- No voting machine employee or executive, no state official or state employee that is involved in election planning or execution can be associated with any particular party's political campaign. (e.g. Blackwell as Sec. of State of Ohio AND Chairman of the Republican Party in Ohio - ridiculous and obviously flagrant conflict of interest.)
Signed,
