Congressman Kucinich has introduced an amendment to the "help America vote act" that will require all presidential elections be done on paper ballots hand counted at the precinct to prevent voting machine fraud/or errors or glitches.
It is HB 6200 and it has 19 cosigners.
The few mninutes you spend could pay off big.
Just email your congressperson and ask them to cosponsor and support HB 6200.
Find out who your representative is here and how to contact them.

Also spread the word to all you know or to blogs you frequent. Thank you so much.
This isn't really a partisan issue..we need to be sure all the votes count and are counted asnd this will help.

EDIT to angels raising hell--this is simply not true..there are over 100 ways to cheat with machines and only 6 with paper ballots..representatives of both partuies would be present and it would be videotaped to prevent fraud...locked, transparent ballot boxes would be used and no votes would leave the precincts. Vote totals would be posted at the ptrecincts.
It is a proven fact that there were many "glitches" such as 4000 more votes (for Bush) than thre were voters at one precinct in Gahanna, Ohio. This is just one of the 57,000 reported problems. This was reported in my republican newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, in the 2004 election.
Also voters and poll workers in Youngstown Ohio reported under sworn testimony that they witnassed vote hopping (push one candidate the other lights up)
Canadan and other countries have fair paper elections and they could be done here if they wanted our votes to actually count.
