Alert: Pass 'Public Confidence in Elections' Act Today!
February 28th, 2005
A paperless e-voting machine in North Carolina irretrievably lost 4,400+ votes in November's election. This and other all too frequent e-voting machine malfunctions make it clear that NC voters deserve much better voting technology security and reliability... and leaders in the state legislature agree.
In February, Representatives Insko and Preston introduced HB 238, the Public Confidence in Elections bill which calls for voter-verified paper ballots statewide, as well as other provisions to improve the reliability and verifiability of North Carolina's elections. Senators Kinnaird and Allran introduced an identical companion bill in the Senate, SB 223.
But these bills need YOUR immediate support for passage. There are those in the state who still think paperless e-voting is "good enough" and unless you stand up to be heard on this legislation, North Carolina's elections don't stand a chance.
VerifiedVoting.org joins North Carolina Verified Voting in asking you to contact your state legislators today and urge them to pass HB 238 and SB 223 before any more votes are lost.
