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.

Thank you for posting this. I am going to contact my representative, though I know he won't vote for it. He's Vito Fossella, from the 13th district in NY, a Republican who goes along with anything Bush wants, and we know Bush does not want to have verifiable ways to count votes. Witness the stolen 2000 and 2004 elections.

And Kucinich is not a nut, he is an amazing Congressperson. Though I am not a Democrat, I would have liked to see him go against Bush in 2004. At least he would have challenged him on the issues, unlike Kerry.

Oh great were going to let the polling place count the votes. As most are run by Democrats I can see that will give us fraud free elections. Give me a break.
In 1998 Democrat elections Auditor Sean Cavanagh, discovered a suspicious spike in absentee ballots. It was discovered that Rep. Murphys (D-PA) wifes name had been forged on all absentee ballots of patients in a Pittsburg nursing home. Some had already passed on.
Murphy went to jail. Cavanagh an, honest man, became a disgrace and excoriated by his own party for discovering it.

We had the same trouble here in AZ with voter fraud. The Democrats were rounding up provisional voters from the homeless shelters and parks most of whom were convicted felons and couldn`t vote. Some were just crazy. We also had the paid illegal Mexican voters arriving in Democrat buses. We didn`t have the ID law enacted yet. My dead Uncle some how registered again from the grave. This time a Democrat. Although I stood guard at his polling station (run by democrats) to prevent him from rising from the grave and voting he managed to vote absentee by mail anyway.
We got the Law here changed. Last month in the primaries Democrat voting was down 15%. Now you have to have an ID to vote, and be alive too. We had to fight the DEMS tooth and nail to get the new law passed, but the people wanted it so they couldn`t stop it. This is a true story.
It doesn`t matter if it is on paper or not its the people counting that matters. Thats why you have reps from every party watching every count.

By the way you do know Kucinich is a nut don`t you?

even as both canidates are funded through a similar extremely-prosperous crew: really the federal reserve. How can all and sundry no longer keep in mind that both activities are in reality puppets with fingers could deep up their collective behinds. Now it quite is a real crime antagonistic to humanity ie: peoples own small minded blind run it out till it cuts a rut we are able to not in any respect pull out of. Yeah thats the american way! ok i'm performed ranting

In your first edit your say ".there are over 100 ways to cheat with machines and only 6 with paper ballots." Please prove it. I have voted both ways and worked at the polls under both systems. I know form personal experience that you have no clue what you are talking about.

As for Kucinich, when he ran for President, he borrowed money from the bank I work at then gave our address for his campaign bills. That is all I care to know about him.

You probably don't remember the 2000 election because it was so long ago, but the whole brouhaha was over the correct way to count paper ballots.

Now, they may be the "best" answer, but anyone who promotes them as panacea is either a liar or a fool.
