VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO CONDUCT CITIZENS' AUDIT PARALLEL ELECTION ON ELECTION DAY, NOV. 8, 2005
RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT ELECTION PROTECTION
START THE DIALOGUE WITH VOTERS

An urgent call for volunteers from election protection activist Judy Alter ...

Citizen activists needed in every county in California to invite voters at selected poll sites to duplicate their vote on a paper ballot for the Citizens’ Audit Parallel Election. These ballots will be hand-counted in public.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? To make sure your vote is counted as cast and to raise awareness about proprietary software.

Parallel elections enable citizens to DOUBLE-CHECK the accuracy of official election results. The official ballots and vote tallies are recorded on optical scanners, electronic voting machines and central tally machines, which are operated with trade-secret software not disclosed to the public, not even to public elections officials. California election officials cannot demonstrate that our votes are actually counted as we cast them when our ballots are counted with secret software.

HAND-COUNTING the parallel election ballots provides a statistical method of analysis that may detect discrepancies between the reported official tally and how citizens themselves say they voted. The ballots may also provide legal evidence for court challenges.
