Tell Governor Culver: Iowans Deserve Paper Ballots Statewide
By Sean Flaherty, IVI
Great story in the Sunday Register, quoting frequent contribs Flaherty and Depew. Guys, keep up the good work. The rest of us? urge the gov to follow Mauro's lead.
Dear Friends,
Iowa is very close to adopting a statewide paper ballot system in time for the 2008 elections. We need your help to make sure this happens.
Click here to
sign Verified Voting's alert urging Governor Culver and legislators to
fund paper ballot voting systems, with optical scanners and
ballot-marking devices for voters with disabilities. Then please forward this on.
Voter-marked paper ballots provide the most reliable record of the voter's intent. An article in yesterday's Des Moines Register shows how close we are to this badly needed reform. See here for a summary of reasons that paper ballots are superior to a “paper trail.”
Timing is crucial, and we need you to send a message today. Take one minute to send a message to the Governor and the legislature. Click here to fill out the form, and your message will be sent automatically.Thank you for all you do!
Best regards,
Sean Flaherty
