MoveOn.org Political Action: Paper ballots for the 2008 election

MoveOn.org Political Action: Paper ballots for the 2008 election: "Paper ballots for the 2008 election"

Paper ballots for the 2008 election

This Sunday's cover story in The New York Times Magazine makes plain the threat: The winner of the 2008 presidential election could be decided by flawed, insecure, and hackable electronic voting machines.

This is the most prominent news coverage this issue has ever gotten, so it could be our one last chance to get this right before the election in November.

Congress is poised to consider a new emergency paper ballots bill next week—but we'll have to convince them to act right away.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to local election officials and your members of Congress.
Is this a good idea or not? Well, -- we'll talk about it tonight at the gathering at TalkShoe.com.
