The Report, among other things, called on Congress to enact legislation requiring both a voter verified paper ballot of every vote and routine random audits to check the accuracy of electronic voting.

Voting integrity activists who have been championing this cause for several years are pleased that the Commission confirmed the need for this critical security measure.

4. I have signed but...
...I want to do more. I fully support election audits, voter receipts, and/or parallel voting.

What else can I do? Could you name a few really hot election activist organizations I can help with?

I will not stand for any more stolen elections.
