Subject: Why we must have PAPER BALLOTS!

Please read the following email.

It explains why VVPAT (voter-verified paper audit trails) are totally inadequate, and why we must have PAPER BALLOTS.

Legislators are being intensively lobbied by vendors and election officials to support VVPAT. Vendors can cheaply retrofit their insecure and inaccurate voting equipment. Election officials can cover-up their irresponsible decision to purchase Direct Recording (DRE) voting equipment.

We must lobby them to require PAPER BALLOTS. This is the only technology proven to provide (a) private, (b) voter verified vote recording and (c) publicly verified vote interpretation and counting.
