Can you believe some people are happy to have private companies count the vote?

I participate in the non-partisan election protection effort and compiled the EIRS voter hotline irregularity reports for all states in 2004 and 2006.
There has been touch screen switching, glitches, programming problems, compilation problems in thousands of counties across the country affection millions of voters.
2006, like 2004 was another disastrous election from a standpoint of millions of voters affected and little reliability that those proclaimed the winners in fact were the choice of the majority of voters.
In addition to machine problems, there again were widespread systematic dirty tricks mostly by the Republican Party and malfeasance by officials/poll workers to suppress minority voters.

Touch screen machines are extremely unreliable and easily manipulated.

I signed the petition,but was not quick enough to vote this up-sorry. Is there another way we can keep this in the eye of DU. This is an important petition.

That is exactly what we need to start doing and supporting Kucinich's resolution...

Paper for President: House Resolution 6200

Representative Dennis Kucinich, D, Ohio introduced HR 6200 on September 27, 2006. His bill will “ amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require States to conduct Presidential elections using paper ballots and to count those ballots by hand, and for other purposes.”

The main features of the bill include special rules for Presidential elections.

* Presidential elections will be conducted entirely with paper ballots;

* Each precinct will include no more than 500 paper ballots per ballot box;

* Paper ballots will be counted by hand in the precincts where voting takes place and vote counting will be witnessed by a representative of each political party with a candidate on the ballot “as well as any interested member of the public.”

HR 6200 takes the logical step of moving Washington’s birthday celebration to election day during presidential election years making it easier for working people to vote.

If passed, the bill takes effect in time for the November 2008 presidential election.
