Call to Action: Insist on Hand Counted Paper Ballots for Federal Offices
A Message from VotersUnite! in partnership with the National Ballot Integrity Project
Write to
Senators Harkin and Grassley and to your representative in Congress and
ask them to support the Federal Paper Ballot Act of 2004.
Federal Paper Ballot Act of 2004
(1) All votes for federal offices shall be cast on paper ballots.
(2) All
votes for federal offices shall be hand counted at the polling places
where the votes were cast, and the manual count shall constitute the
official count of the votes.
(3)
Manually-tallied precinct totals for all federal offices shall be
prominently posted at the polling places before the ballots are
transported to the central facility.
(4) In
any jurisdiction where votes for federal office are also counted by
machine, the machine totals for federal offices shall be posted at the
location where the votes are machine-counted.
(5) All
absentee votes for federal offices shall be counted by hand, and the
totals shall be posted at the central election office.
(6) This act is effective on the date of enactment.
Insist that your legislators understand …
… a questionable, unauditable election in November could lead to massive court challenges and tear the country apart.
… an electronic federal election will result in a national crisis in November, regardless of the election outcome.
… it is the responsibility of Congress to avert a national crisis. This legislation will avert that crisis.
… you will not cast your vote for them in November unless they support this legislation.
Insist that they introduce and support the Federal Paper Ballot Act of 2004.
