Call to Action: Support Paper Ballots in Iowa!
by Jerry Depew
Today in Pocahontas, Iowa, State Senate co-president Jack Kibbie asked for your help – without knowing you exist.
He said a few letters to the
Des Moines Register would help get things going for a paper ballot
requirement in Iowa. That is our cue!
Here is the address:
letters@news.dmreg.com
He said
he had asked Senator Wally Horn to draft a bill to achieve what Kibbie and
you and I all want. But he also said the auditors from Marshall, Linn, and
Story counties had appeared before a legislative committee and OPPOSED his
idea to require paper proof for the voters.
So here is what we can
do:
Write the Register. Do you trust paperless machines? Have they
caused any trouble? Are they too expensive? Keep it simple and
non-partisan.
Write Sen. Horn to express your interest. wally.horn@legis.state.ia.us
Write
your own senator–addresses here. Just fill in your own street address and the contact info for your state senator will pop up.

Thanks for your help. Time is ticking.
