FW: LP adds Voter Verified Paper Ballot to the Platform



The Libertarian Party is leading the way to trustworthy elections!

 

Their 2004 platform says, To avoid fraud and manipulation, electronic voting systems must use a voter verified paper ballot as the ballot of count, recount, audit and record.”

 

Clean and simple, Libertarians are demanding a true paper ballot – not a practically useless “paper receipt”.

 

We need the other national political parties to adopt this plank in their platform.

Subject: LP adds Voter Verified Paper Ballot to the Platform

 

The national Libertarian Party has added a powerful single sentence to the Elections Laws section of the Platform.

 

To avoid fraud and manipulation, electronic voting systems must use a voter verified paper ballot as the ballot of count, recount, audit and record.

 

Now, we just need all state Libertarians to add this to their platforms, and of course, the other political parties should add this as well.

 

We have come a long way since June, 2000 when we first were horrified over the loss of our votes.

The right to have our vote counted is infringed, and we have lost the integrity of our voting system, when the ease with which the ballots can be manipulated is greater than the ease with which the manipulation can be detected.  (Kevin Craig, 2002) www.electionguardians.org
