"Make Paper Ballots Mandatory"

Jim Dean, Democracy for America:

"Paperless electronic voting machines used throughout much of the country cannot be made secure." That is the assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, reported by The Washington Post.

The New York Times also recently ran an editorial entitled "Déjà Vu in Florida" proclaiming "electronic voting without the full array of protections, including a voter-verified paper trail, is unacceptable."

Let's build on this momentum. Last week we circulated a petition calling on Speaker of the House-elect Nancy Pelosi to put paper ballots on the agenda in the new Congress' first 100 hours. Can you help us send her an overwhelming message?
