E-petitions for voting machines that leave a paper trail |
Here is a link for an e-petition drive to make sure that states using
new electronic voting use machines that give some sort of receipt for
a paper trail.
Without a paper ballot, there's no way to know if our votes are
counted
correctly.
California recently sued diebold for their electronic voting machines
which got the votes of calfornians wrong.
However, many key states in the next election including Florida & Ohio
are installing "black box" voting machines -- computer voting
terminals that don't produce a paper ballot.
If ATMs and gas pumps can print receipts, then voting terminals can
print paper ballots.
You can make that happen by sending an email through this link:

What good is a receipt? How do you audit the vote?
