2. Back Up
Ney was one of the authors of the bill.

I suppose he likes it the way it is.

His constituency needs to tell him how "unpatriotic" is is to not insure every vote is counted as cast, that the current system is open to terroist threats.

Isn't that what he's supposed to be protecting?

not HR-2239. Just to clarify.

Everyone who has an interest in the issue can join blackboxvoting.org There are now seperate state forums. See how you can help locally, or nationally. Find out where your talents are most needed. Exciting things are going to be happening in the next two weeks.

4. Rep. Ney is from Ohio and Diebold is in Ohio.
Rep Ney may be promoting Diebold of Ohio, which doesn't have paper ballots, over Avante International Technology of New Jersey, which does have paper ballots from its touchscreen machines.

5. I would like to remind everyone why politicians resist the bill.
They do not want to be inconvenienced by reworking the machines and the re-write of election laws.

Think of this when you speak to your recalcitrant Congressional representative.

6. Is that what you've been told by people in Congress?
If so, why not flesh the info out a little bit?
