3. any word on if the bill includes MMRA ?

I see it calls for

Provide a verified paper ballot for every vote cast in electronic voting machines;

uniform standard for provisional ballots;

standards that ensure uniform access to voting machines.



if that's all we're getting I'm worried. we need a Mandatory Manual Random Audits!

maybe if we take ALL these bills (last I counted we're at 6), and add them together, we could get what we need to restore democracy in this dictatorship we live in.

5. News Scoop: Kerry to Joing Press Conference

"News Scoop: Kerry to Join Press Conference on Electoral Reform Tomorrow

16 February 2005

I have received word from a trusted source that John Kerry will be
joining Barbara Boxer, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and Hilary Clinton in a
major press conference on Electoral Reform tomorrow at 12:45.

Word has it, that Kerry will be revealing tomorrow during the press
conference, that his email sent to supporters through JohnKerry.com on
January 5th urging them to call Senator Leader Bill Frist and House
Speaker Dennis Hastert and “demand that Congress commit itself this
year to reforming the electoral system,” resulted in over 35,000 phone
calls to their offices."

7. Hillary says "I congratulate Bush on his victory"

says it on her website

I wonder, if Bush won legitimately, then why do we need an election reform bill, Hillary?

8. Frustrating, ain't it?

I assume it's to keep the GOP's guard down.
