BBV: new info "VOTER CONFIDENCE Act" not "RECORD Act"
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 05:41 PM by Eric J in MN
I posted below in favor of the RECORD Act, but I overlooked a loophole.

A visitor to my website, moveleft.com, pointed out that there is a huge loophole in "The RECORD Act of 2004."

States can says it's a "technologically impossible" for them to require paper ballots, and then they won't have to.

`(D) The Commission will certify voting equipment that meets the requirements of section 301. States must use certified voting equipment, or the interim paper ballot system described in subparagraph (C), or apply to the Commission for a waiver which the Commission may grant if the State demonstrates that it is technologically impossible to comply with such requirements. States receiving such a waiver shall submit reports to the Commission demonstrating the steps the State is taking to remedy the technological impossibility.'.


Pleaee support "The Voter Confidence Act" in both houses.

HR.2239- House bill number of "The Voter Confidence Act."

S.1980- Senate bill number of "The Voter Confidence Act."

You can contact Congress by dialing
1-800-839-5276

and asking to be transferred to the office of the Congressperson or Senator.
