From the Mail Bag: Urgent! Pass the Emergency Paper Ballot Mandate of 2006
By Admin, Section News
Dear Fellow Americans, Don't tell yourself that you will get to it. Do these things now, before we become the recipients of Bush's "interrogations." Then send this information to 10 people that you know. Let's commit to creating a wave around the country.
In primaries in Ohio, Maryland, California and numerous states across this nation, Electronic Voting Machines have caused serious problems at the polls, resulting in long lines, voters turned way from their polling places, and uncounted or miscounted votes. We must act now to ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot that counts on November 7.
Because our representatives in Washington are not addressing this threat to our democracy, netroots activists have drafted the Let America Vote Act: Emergency Paper Ballot Mandate of 2006. This simple piece of proposed legislation mandates every voting jurisdiction make available emergency paper ballots for the November 7, 2006 general election. These paper ballots will not be provisional ballots but regular ballots. They can be used by any voter who requests one - and will be used by every voter in the event of voting machine failure. These emergency paper ballot votes must be counted immediately upon the close of polls.
