Okay, now that we have crossed this path--I think one of the next things
we need to do--is attempt to help pass HR 2239.
The door has been opened--the Repugs know that we are on to their game so they may be a little more agreeable to getting this up for vote so as not to look as guilty--who knows, it could happen.:bounce:
This is an excerpt that I received from Rep. Doggett that I wrote regarding the elections:

We must ensure that the voices of all voters are being heard. A
growing number of election reform and computer security experts
have rightfully raised serious concerns about the integrity of
electronic voting systems. The reliability of election results should
not be jeopardized by computer malfunction or other irregularities.

You will be pleased to learn that I am a sponsor of H.R. 2239, the
Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act. H.R. 2239
would require that all voting machines produce an actual paper
record that voters can view to check the accuracy of their vote,
would require ballot recounts in some jurisdictions, and would
allow citizen appeals of those recounts. Unfortunately, more than a
year after the legislation was introduced and with the election
behind us, the House Republican Leadership has still refused to
permit this legislation to come before the House for consideration.
