TELL THE HOUSE TO PASS H.R. 550 (PAPER BALLOT VOTING REFORM) AS WRITTEN


http://www.millionphonemarch.com/hr550.php


In the next two weeks there will be a final push to get H.R. 550, a bill introduced by Rep. Holt of New Jersey, on the House floor.

H.R. 550 would protect the integrity of our elections by requiring a voter verified paper record of every vote, requiring mandatory random hand counted audits to verify the accuracy of electronic tallies.

We only have until April 6 to fully mobilize on this. Please forward a link to this action page to everyone else you know. This is the only way to ever conduct an audit we can trust. It will also prohibit the use of secret software and wireless communication devices in voting machines. The recent change in leadership of the Committee on House Administration has created a new opportunity for passage of this vital election integrity measure. Previous constituent meetings in June and August of 2005 were a huge success, generating 24 new co-sponsors on the bill from both parties. In addition, 27 States have now passed voter-verified paper record requirements.
