Friday, January 4, 2008

As we begin the 2008 election cycle with primaries and caucuses, we need to know that our voting system has some integrity. Some news reports have been disconcerting.

SNIP...Since at least 1988, the ballots in 49 states and half of New Hampshire are hidden from the people
and counted in secret by computers. This procedure violates two Supreme Court rulings. NCEL was filed in all 50 states to remedy this freedom threatening problem.

Read the National Clean Elections Lawsuit. NCEL was filed to restore hand-marked, hand counted paper ballots that never leave the sight or custody of the people until the ballots are counted and the results posted in each neighborhood polling place. This means machine-free, computer-free counts in our elections once again.

All 50 states are being sued to prevent the use of computerized voting systems during the 2008 primary and general elections and beyond. The lawsuit seeks to halt the use of machine-based voting systems and vote counting procedures that hide the ballots and the counting of votes from the People.
