Tell Congress: Pass Emergency Bill for Secure Elections in 2008
Now is your best chance to to help make the 2008 Presidential election verifiable. Please ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the "Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act of 2008”, Representative Rush Holt's bill to provide emergency funding for paper ballots voting systems and random hand counted audits of the November elections.

There have been many reports of problems with different voting systems through out the country. I was under the impression that because we use paper ballots in Massachusetts, our system of voting was the most secure. However, after reading a few of the many studies which document vulnerabilities to different systems, I have learned that my assumption was false. One such study was made by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law. The four chapter report was published in 2006

The good news is that some very simple procedures can be implemented that would minimize the risks with our particular voting system, the Diebold AccuVote OS-5 Optical Scanner, As stated in the report: "Our analysis shows that systems with voter-verified paper records provide little, if any, security benefit over systems without such records, unless there are regular audits of and/or recounts of paper ballots". Report after report recommends the hand-counting of a percentage of ballots to provide and insure accuracy in the tabulation of our votes. Many states have already adopted such measures, but we in Massachusetts remain susceptible to error-laden tabulations. Rush Holt has introduced a bill today, to provide emergency funding for paper ballots voting systems AND random audit hand counted audits of the November elections. I urge my representatives in Congress to cosponsor the Emergency Assistance for Secure elections Act of 2008.. I also urge all Massachusetts State Representatives to heed the warnings stated in these reports and implement the procedures with or without the response by Congress. After all the years that have passed since the revelation of the myriad of problems with our voting systems, I do not believe that it is wise to wait for action by Congress to adopt such simple preventive measures.
