* Stand Up for Accountable Voting in Ohio! [This is a joint alert from EFF and VerifiedVoting.org] Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell is forcing counties to purchase electronic voting (e-voting) machines that cannot be audited. If integrity in the voting process is important to you, here are two things you can do: 1) Send this letter urging your legislators to stand up to Blackwell and to require a voter-verifiable paper audit trail on e-voting machines. 2) Attend the next public hearing on Ohio election systems and make your voice heard. The meeting will be on Wednesday, March 31, 8:30 - 12:00 in the Senate Finance Room of the Columbus Statehouse. Use the EFF Action Center to send a letter: http://action.eff.org/action/index.asp?step=2&item=2885 Thanks very much for taking the time to make your voice heard! EFF and VerifiedVoting.org
