Whats Happening:
HR 811 – the Voter Confidence and Increased
Accessibility Act could come to a vote in the next 2 weeks

H.R. 811:

  • Paper Ballots — ALL voting machines must produce a paper ballot
  • Audits — ALL voting machines must be audit-able
  • No Secret Source Code — ALL voting machine vendors MUST make the machines’ software available for inspection
  • Ban on Wireless Devices — Prohibits wireless technology in voting
    machines

Why Do I Care:
In 2004, thousands of votes were literally lost because voting machines did not have paper ballots
What You Can Do:
Call your congressperson. in Pittsburgh, Call Mike Doyle 202-225-2135 and tell him to Vote YES on H.R. 811.

Want More Info:
Then, after you call, sign up for Democracy Campaign updates and alerts on your cell phone. The Democracy Campaign is going mobile, and you can join the campaign by signing up to receive text message alerts and updates on your cell phone.
