BBV: Another "R" signs the Statement of Principal for Clean Voting

[Andy_Stephenson]

Recently I sent this letter to the House and Senate Members in Washington State. Today I recieved a reply from another Republican. Outstanding!

First the statement...then the respondant.

Dear Representatives and Senators,

We the Citizens of Washington have drawn a line in the sand. Today we are calling on our Senators and Representatives, as well as local elected officials to sign this Statement of Principal for clean voting. We are non-negotiable on this issue and request your signature. Be warned however that we will be targeting those Republicans or Democrats that do not sign for replacing. This effort is supported by a broad range of citizens and political organizations including several Republican and Democratic groups. We would like to add your name to the heros list.

Some of you have already signed on, outstanding job Your sponsorship of HB 2978 was admirable. Unfortunately, some of your associates in the House and Senate saw fit to kill that bill and it's companion SB 6717. Please, take a moment to read this over, sign and return it, and I will add your name to the list of legislators working to protect our vote. Time is of the essence and names will begin appearing on both lists on Saturday so sign early and assure your place on the heros list!

Sincerely, Andy Stephenson

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE For Clean Voting

"When we introduced electronic technology into our election system, we created changes which provide opportunities to tamper. These vulnerabilities may allow incorrect results on an unprecedented number of votes at once. We believe that we must implement more robust safeguards for a trustworthy voting system. We therefore endorse the following statement of principle:

Electronic voting systems, as they now stand, present a clear and present danger to democracy.

- If electronic voting systems are used, we insist that they produce a paper ballot, verified by the voter at the time the vote is cast, placed in a ballot box.

- We insist on unbiased voter registration procedures.

- We insist on the implementation of improved procedures to audit elections.

Here is a partial List of Heros in the house

Murray, Morris, Quall, Linville, Chase, Dickerson, Eickmeyer, G. Simpson, Morrell, Rockefeller, Kagi, Upthegrove, Miloscia
