BBV Folks: Need Help Putting Together a Starter Kit
I have the opportunity to give a little presentation about electronic voting and its perils in a little under a week. I need a fact sheet to support this, preferably one with lots of easily verifiable quotations from 'mainstream' sources. I don't have a hell of a lot of time to devote to assembling this, unfortunately, but with all the work you guys have done it would be probably be reinventing the wheel anyway. Can you point me to a few things to get me started?

Thanks,

The Plaid Adder

8. Plaid! You are wunnerful.
The easiest one is the one page front-back handout:

.pdf format is http://www.blackboxvoting.org/BBVPrimer.pdf

Word doc is http://www.blackboxvoting.org/BBVPrimer.doc

Feel free to edit out the "brand" names of Black Box Voting at the top if you feel it helps you make your case. In some situations, it's best to just put a tiny link at the bottom, since I've heard that some congressmen run the other direction when they hear my name.

Miss your poetry.

Bev

10. I was thinking of asking this same question
Thank you. Great information here.

I've been talking with a State Rep here who's introducing legislation concerning BBVing. We need to do a bit more research.
