11. That's a good question, Sperk

Question to Congressman Meehan....WHY is this allowed?

They write the software, tally the votes and tell us what the out come was...


Why is that allowed? Sounds to me like an easy way out of counting the millions of votes. Is that what America has come to? Taking the easy way out? Because that's all the rationale election officials have given for allowing e-voting: "Its Easy".

Congress decides how votes for federal offices are to be cast and counted. Congress has allowed this travesty; this easy way out. Congress can, with the wave of its collective hand, return the Vote to an open and more honest system. Yeah, its harder to count all those Votes by hand, but it will make elections much more trusted - the way they used to be.

There is a Congressional bill...HR550, that needs to be passed, ASAP.

You might want to consider raising a little hell before and after the assemblage, Sperk. Get some folks thinking about this issue. Because, the more people know, the more they will see: E-voting is a cancer upon our Democracy.
