black box voting: The Senate is back! Phone your Senators.
black box voting=voting on electronic machines which don't print paper ballots.

There is a bill in the Senate to end black box voting before the 2004 election.

It is callled "The Voter Confidence Act," S.1980.

Phone your Senators and ask them to cosponsor the Voter Confidence Act.

Phone 1-800-839-5276 (Capitol Hill Switchboard), ask to be transferred to the office of one of your Senators, and leave a message requesting that the Senator cosponsor the bill.


sample phone words:

Hello, may I speak to the office of Senator ________?
(call transferred)
Hello, I'd like to leave a message for the Senator to cosponsor the Voter Confidence Act, S.1980, to protect the accuracy of elections.



All the Senators EXCEPT for this 5 need their offices to be called on this issue:
Senators Who Acted For Voting Rights by Cosponsoring the Voter Confidence Act
Graham, Bob - (D - FL) (sponsor)
Nelson, Bill - (D - FL)
Hollings, Ernest - (D - SC)
Lautenberg, Frank - (D - NJ)
Schumer, Charles - (D - NY)

1. I am soooo proud of you!
"black box voting=voting on electronic machines which don't print paper ballots."


Now we need to get the senators on board with this concept. "Ballots"
