4. Right now the focus is on fixing the mess that is voting in NC...
There are as many ways to vote in our state as there are ways to make BBQ, the fight now is to get every county on the same system of voting with a paper ballot and get clear laws on the books. Here's a post from the NC forum from WillYourVoteBeCounted who has done an excellent job of keeping us informed:

So far, it is the democrats in the NC State House who need to step up to the plate to support these bills/proposals.

*Please forward to all citizens concerned with election integrity*

Action alert for Paper Ballots in North Carolina Elections

House Bill 238 has been introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly by Rep. Verla Insko. It requires that any voting technology used in North Carolina produce paper ballots. The ballots must be visible to the voters ("voter-verified") and be used for recounts and randomized audits of electronic vote counts. See text of the bill at:
(http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/BillLookUp/BillLookUp.pl... )

Please email, phone and/or fax your State Representatives and ask them support HB 238. Also ask your state senator to contact Senator Ellie Kinnaird to co-sponsor the companion bill that she will introduce in the Senate. In your messages, please ask for a reply and let us, the North Carolina Coalition for Verified Voting, [email protected], know how they respond.

Go here to contact your representative: http://www.ncleg.net/GIS/Representation/Who_Represents_...

For sample letter to send, and for more information on election problems, see our websites, www.ncvoter.net and www.blackboxvoting.com .
