person should take action. Most people on my email list are not that heavily into politics. I want to get an email out that makes people want to sign the petition to Congress at Moveon.org and to demand a paper receipt when they vote. And hopefully we can post an email here that others can send around to their lists. Any suggestions would be appreciated, (even if you think I should change my wording - which I am not crazy about). Here is what I have so far.
Subject: Important voting information!
http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/videos.htmlThis video shows how easy it is to manipulate a vote using the electronic voting machine. We will never have a legitimate election unless a paper trail is made to substantiate the claims made at the end of the voting day. This is dangerous for Republicans and Democrats alike.
http://pol.moveon.org/repairthevote/Think of a lack of paper trail for an election as buying a large item at a department store for several hundred dollars and not getting a receipt for your purchase. If the item is flawed you have no re-course. The store gets to keep your money and you are stuck with a flawed product. Most people would never consider buying a large ticket item that will not come with a receipt of purchase.
Your vote is the same. It only counts when it is made to count. And you can make it count by demanding a receipt of your vote.
