BBV: help voters in Maryland to have fair elections.
Please support

They are fighting for voter-verifiable paper ballots. Support their lawsuit.



bbv=black box voting=voting on machines with no paper ballots printed. These votes can't be meaningfully audited, and therefore the machines can be rigged.

1. kick for MD
MD is a Democratic state, and they have been fighting the "Black Box" Fraud voting machines since day one. Baltimore is an amazing city, and a major Democratic power base.

3. Too bad Sheila Hixson is ruining things for them.
Sheila Hixson is s Democrat in the Maryland State House who shelved the bill for voter-verifiable paper ballots.
------------

TrueVoteMD's effort to ensure the integrity of the vote in Maryland was blocked by conference committee members of the House of Delegates. A bill requiring a voter-verified paper trail, along with random audits on election day, passed the Maryland Senate by a unanimous vote of 45 to 0. In the House, Delegate Sheila Hixson, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, turned a bill with the same requirements into a task force to study well beyond the imperative 2004 election. Knowledgable legislators indicated that the task force was designed to "kill the bills" and "failed to include the any of the dozens of sponsors of the paper trail bill."
