Edited on Mon May-17-04 03:08 AM by Eric J in MN
BBV=black box voting=voting easily rigged by voting machine companes because its done with electronic voting machines without paper records

"The Voter Confidence Act," bill number S.1980, to require electronic voting machines to print paper ballots, is currently in the Senate Rules and Administration Committee.

These are the Senators who can bring the Voter Confidence Act to a vote on the floor of the Senate.

Senate Rules and Administration Committee

Ted Stevens (R-AK)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Don Nickles (R-OK)
Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)
Bill Frist (R-TN)

1. It seems like a slamdunk.
The fact that we have to beg and cajole them to support this is a perfect example of whats wrong with our system in the first place. Sad!

8. it SHOULD be a slam dunk
it's not like there are (more than bush's core 30%) voters who WANT their vote to be unverifiable. people just have no idea because the mainstream media keeps burying this.

3. Lots of effort, espcially from the states that have these guys...
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Chris Dodd, Ranking Member (D-CT)


Both are authors of the HAVA Act. Both have signed a letter against voter verified paper ballots, that HAVA doesn't need changing and doesn't really ask for VVPB.


Dodd apparently doesnt' know how to be a true blue Democrat. Are either one up for reelection?

True, hit that committee list hard, but get going on the rest of the Senate, too.
