"Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action—July 13

[NoPasaran]

A rally/press conference will be held in Austin, TX on Tuesday, July13, in conjunction with the nationwide "Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action. A national coalition of groups including Democracy for America, Common Cause, MoveOn, TrueMajority, Working Assets, VerifiedVoting.org, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, and National Committee for Voting Integrity, is encouraging election officials to use their authority to require computerized voting machines to produce paper records, which can be verified by voters and kept for audits and dispute resolution.

A joint petition of signatures in support of this issue will be presented at this event and the rally will feature speakers including Dean Dozen Texas Supreme Court candidate David Van Os.

1. excellent

We need to keep the heat on. One of the action items from our "Turn Up the Heat" house party last night was to keep working for verifiable paper trails.

I'm sure the local campaign knows but I'll forward it along anyway just in case.
