25. Beware before asking your Congress Member to support this bill!

While I understand IndyOp's expressed hopes of improving the situation in his/her state, the rest of the country will be damned in many ways by this dangerous legislation which institutionalizes DRE touch-screen voting systems.

America needs a paper BALLOT -- one that is actually counted -- for every vote cast. HR811 is a deceptive bill that does NOT offer that, and will make things much much worse in many places because of it.

Eg. Had their been the "paper trails" required by Holt down in the Sarasota FL-13 case, it likely would have been thrown out by now.

"Paper trails" such as required by Holt are not the answer. Paper BALLOTS are the answer. "Paper TRAILS" are a HUGE problem.
