Election law violation in MD...

[Epoch]

Greetings,
I just had a 20 min conversation with State Sen. Andrew Harris (R, state minority whip) about the Diebold machines. He told me that in 2001, the assembly passed his amendment that required MD to have a paper trail. He also said that when the state bought the machines, they broke the law since they didn't have a paper receipt. They are going to contact Attorney Gen. Joseph Curran about it. I'm planning on doing the same. Marylanders, call Curran and tell him to support Harris's Amendment. he's a republican, but he's right about this issue.

This is the Amendment to HB 1457-2001 Regular session:
AMENDMENT NO. 4
On page 5, in line 20, strike And@; and in line 21, after Candidates;@ insert AND

(VI) BE CAPABLE OF CREATING A PAPER RECORD OF ALL VOTES CAST IN ORDER THAT AN AUDIT TRAIL IS AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT OF A RECOUNT;@.

The bill passed with all the amendments..
