Attention Virginians, if you feel strongly about voting machines,
now is the time to act.
Virginia Verified Voting
Come to Lobby Day Tue Jan 24
Now is the time to act!
Senate Committee Meets Tue Jan 24, 4 PM
Delegate Tim Hugo and Senator Jeannemarie Devolites Davis have introduced legislation requiring voter-verified paper audit trails for voting equipment (HB 1243 and SB 424). For these bills to become law, we will have to make a strong showing to our legislators. Digital voting machines that lack a voter-verified paper trail are subject to programming errors and possible fraud, with no capability for meaningful audits or recounts.
If you care about the integrity of Virginia elections, now is the time to act! Come to lobby day in Richmond on Jan. 24, 2006 and let our representatives know that Virginians care about the integrity of our elections, and that we demand transparent and reliable elections. We will provide materials, and information. No experience is necessary. VA Verified Voting will hold a morning orientation and training. We will cap the day by attending the Senate committee vote on this bill and showing the senators that Virginia citizens care about our elections.
