Become a citizen co-sponsor of this vitally important reform legislation that Senator Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton have made a top priority for 2005.
http://www.friendsofhillary.com/CountEveryVoteToday, the next step. This afternoon, Sen Clinton will step onto the Senate floor and formally introduce the Count Every Vote Act.
Providing paper receipts for electronic voting machines, creating uniform standards for provisional ballots, and guaranteeing adequate equipment to prevent long waiting lines are common-sense reforms. They will help strengthen our democracy and they are supported by the vast majority of Americans.
But here’s the reality. Many of the Republican leaders who make speeches about democracy abroad will resist this attempt to strengthen it here at home. They don’t want to face the issue of electoral reform, and they don’t want to vote on it - so they are going to try to ignore it.
So add your name to the co-sponsor list. The more there are, the stronger we are.
