1. Goddamnit!
Stop calling it a "papertrail" Call it what it is! A Ballot.

Sorry for going off but a "papertrail" does not mean a damned thing. A ballot does.

5. Folks, DON'T Just Email
Email and follow up with a phone call.

Fax is better, and follow up with a phone call.

Even on the state level, this gets your communication more likely to be registered on someone's radar.

For everyone one of us spending most of our time on this issue, we need the backup of everyone even if it's just a half-hour out of your day, once a week, to contact your representatives in government at the local, state, and national level.

Email/call, email/fax, but don't just email. When I follow up with a call to state legislators, the staffer pulls that email there and then for review, 9 times out of 10.

Voter verified paper ballots from ALL voting systems (some states seriously considering the horrific alternative of Internet voting) with robust election audit of those voter verified paper ballots- not another re-run through the machine.

Go guys!
