AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM MISSOURIANS FOR HONEST ELECTIONS

(www.mohonestelections.org):

Ask for a paper ballot when you vote in the Missouri presidential
primary on February 5th!!! Please relay this message to as many
Missouri voters as you can!!!

. The ES&S iVotronic touch-screen machines used in St. Louis County
have recently been decertified by the Colorado Secretary of State
because of security vulnerabilities.

. The Diebold Accuvote touch-screen machines used in the City of St.
Louis and in Kansas City have recently been decertified by the
California Secretary of State because of security vulnerabilities.

Should we be alarmed? Indeed we should!

A paper ballot will be available for voters to use throughout Missouri
in the primary on February 5th. While most--if not all--of these will
be counted by optical scan machines, which also have security
problems, the paper ballot they scan is a sturdy piece of paper that
the voter has marked by hand. This ballot thus is a durable, accurate
record of the voter's intentions and can easily be counted by hand if
needed in case of a recount.

Don't forget: VOTE ON PAPER! And help us to spread the word!

Thank you!

1. That's how I vote.
But I can't help the feeling that I'm feeding my ballot into a shredder.
