Sen Clinton's Count Every Vote Act, which has only six co-sponsors, was proposed in 2005. Obama's bill adds two more. Sen Kerry has co-sponsored both.
So, nine of 44 Dem senators have signed on to legislation to guarantee our votes. Where are the rest?

This from a Kerry floor speech last week re Count Every Vote:

"...that every voter in America has a verifiable paper trail for their vote. How can we have a system where you can touch a screen and even after you touch the name of one candidate on the screen, the other candidate's name comes up, and if you are not attentive to what you have done and you just go in, touch the screen, push ``select,'' you voted for someone else and didn't intend to? How can we have a system like that?

How can we have a system where the voting machines are proprietary to a private business so that the public sector has no way of verifying what the computer code is and whether or not it is accountable and fair?"
