It's just horse sense



Time and time again, studies have shown paper ballots to be the most reliable of voting systems, especially in comparison to electronic voting machines. Why? Because they leave a paper trail—a tangible, hand-held record of your vote. It's not rocket science—it's horse sense.

Voter systems that are easier to use shouldn't be harder to trust. That's why we've put together a new flash movie about the importance of paper ballots. Watch the movie and sign the petition to help protect your vote today:

In an age where technology has become a staple of our day-to-day activities, we all know the power and convenience it holds. Yet, we've also all experienced that dreaded "blue screen" at least once—when our computer crashes, everything is lost and data corrupted.

Without paper ballots this loss is exactly what can happen to our vote —our fundamental right, our voice. Think of paper ballots as the "back-up" for our elections.

Join the fight to protect every vote today, watch the movie and sign the petition:

Once you've watched the movie, help spread the word. Forward it on to your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers and explain why paper ballots are an essential part of a healthy democracy.

All Americans deserve to have their voices heard and paper ballots are the best voting system to ensure a secure, honest and accurate election process. The more people we can reach with this movie, the more people we can educate on this issue—and the closer we come to making sure that every vote that is cast is counted accurately.

It's pure, simple common sense. Horse sense.
