Join us to stop unverifiable electronic voting in New York State! We need volunteers to contact legislators, write letters to the editor and educate others on the important Democracy issue. Come to this meeting and get involved!
"Verify the Vote" Forum
Sunday, April 10th, 2005
2:00 - 6:00 PM
Community Church
40 East 35th Street, Manhattan (6 train to 33rd St.)
Come learn about electronic voting machines-the easiest kind to tamper with and the hardest to verify. Diebold and other manufacturers want to install these machines in New York. The NYS Legislature will act soon-within a few weeks-to decide what kind of voting machines will be used by millions of New Yorkers for many years to come. Voters need to make sure that the Legislature makes the right decision. Speakers will include:
1] Teresa Hommel, founder of http://www.WheresThePaper.org
2] Doug Kellner, NYS Board of Elections
3] Local and state elected officials
Come support proposals for:
1] 100% verification and recount
2] Paper trail-with paper ballots and optical scanners
3] Full citizen oversight of elections
