* Verify the Vote: Tell Congress to Fight for Secure Elections!

The 2004 presidential election might not be flawed like the last one
was; it might be even worse.  Communities across America are
purchasing electronic voting (e-voting) machines, but the technology
has serious security problems that need to be addressed.  Most of the
machines use "black box"  software that hasn't been publicly reviewed
for security.  Almost none provide voter-verifiable paper ballots to
detect fraud.  And despite the efforts of one voting technology
company to silence its critics, the public has become increasingly
aware of the problems with e-voting.  The bill has momentum with 62
sponsors, but we need your help.  Send your representative a letter
supporting the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of
2003 (HR 2239), which would require openly reviewed software and
voter-verifiable paper audit trails for all new e-voting machines.
