Urgent: Save Our Democrary

The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003 calls for voting machines to generate a paper trail, and for their software to be openly reviewable. If you’re a U.S. voter, please ask your Representative to support it (following the link includes details as to how.)

I’ve said it before — this is the most serious issue the United States faces, bar none. This is about saving democracy, preserving our civil means of making change. It’s, I hope, a non-partisan issue we can all get behind.

Even if the use of these machines is simon-pure today, the lack of accountability makes it only a matter of time before they’ll be abused.

And considering the ease with which they can be abused , the sudden shifts in recent elections , the anomalies and uncanny coincidences in their use… I think there’s ample evidence that it’s less than simon-pure.

Please, please, if you write one activist letter ever , let it be this one.
