Ask for paper ballots

The cover story in The New York Times Magazine on Sunday, Jan. 6, made plain the threat: The winner of the 2008 presidential election could be decided by flawed, insecure, and hackable electronic voting machines.

Congress is poised to consider a new emergency paper ballots bill next week - but we'll have to convince them to act right away.

I signed a petition urging local, state and federal officials to require a paper trail for our votes. Please join me at the following link: http://pol.moveon.org/paper2008/?r_by=-9282460-oDaFgR&rc=confemail.
