[BradBlog]

NOTE: Please do whatever you can to help readers, listeners and viewers know about the following article and/or Vote-PAD in general, since the company is being out-spent by millions of dollars in promotions and lobbying by the massive Electronic Voting Machine Industry! This is a David v. Goliath story where your help in spreading the word is greatly needed!

Thanks! Brad

Vote-PAD: The Simple Voting Device that May Save American Democracy!
Yolo County, CA Spurns ES&S, Signs up to Use Vote-PAD for Voters with Disabilities, Other Jurisidications may be Right Behind!
Made of paper, plastic and NO SOFTWARE AT ALL, the device works with a paper ballot and costs about one-tenth of flawed, hackable electronic voting devices...Could this be the HAVA voting solution America has been waiting for?


State and County Elections officials from coast to coast to coast are now in a mad, confused, frustrated scramble trying to figure out how the hell to comply with and make sense of the disastrous Help America Vote Act (HAVA) legislation.

In order to meet HAVA's cynical requirements for disabled voters (at least one disabled-accessible device must be present in every precint, even if there are no disable voters in the precinct!), the huge, private electronic voting machine companies are spending millions hawking their flawed, hackable devices that even disabled voters to seem to much like!
Comes now, with not a moment to spare, an ingeniously simple, non-electronic device to allow voters with disabilities of all sorts to be able to cast their own vote, in secret, and with the knowledge that their paper ballot will accurately reflect their intent.

Say hello to the Vote-PAD, the little paper and plastic voting assistive device, that just may save American democracy...
