Demand Paper Trails in Virginia

[magnolia]

LOTS of Virginia groups are involved in this. Can you possibly plan to participate in one, two, or all three of these events? If no one shows up, we have NO chance of getting clean voting in Virginia! And we certainly don't deserve it, if we won't work for it.

You may need to take off work for this, but IT'S WORTH IT!

Demand Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trails in Virginia, July 19
Virginia is holding hearings to consider requiring voter-verified paper audit trails for voting equipment.
Many Virginia jurisdictions have purchased paperless electronic voting machines, and others are considering doing so.
Digital voting machines that lack a voter-verified paper trail are subject to programming errors and possible fraud, with no ability for meaningful audits or recounts.

Attend the hearings and show support for voter-verified audit trails by wearing orange shirts or ribbons.
A large audience will show that Virginians care about the integrity of our elections, and that we demand transparent and reliable elections.

Get there early! You'll have to go through a security check, and, HOPEFULLY, there will be a crowd.....but perhaps not.

1. Here's more Virginians can do:

Contact Nanacy Krakover, Chairman of the Electoral Board at 800-552-9745, and tell her Virginia wants verified voting NOW. We're not doing it just for Andy, but for all of us who are still here fighting for our democracy!

Thank you so much for posting this, Magnolia! I will be there Tuesday, July 19th in DC. Hope to see you there!

It's at the State Capital Building in Richmond. I hope there's a huge crowd.
