Political Evolution
With last weeks huge victory in Iowa and an early lead in New Hampshire, Barrack Obama has created a huge opportunity for political progressives of every stripe: Dems, Repubs, Indies, and whomever else.
Making Obama the Democratic nominee will be a huge step toward changing some of the pathological problems of Washington D.C. An excellent next step is to protect the way votes are cast and counted in this country.
This Sunday's cover story in the New York Times Magazine makes plain the threat: The winner of the 2008 presidential election could be decided by flawed, insecure, and hackable electronic voting machines.
Congress is poised to consider a new emergency paper ballots bill next week -- but we'll have to convince them to act right away.
I signed a petition urging local, state, and federal officials to require paper ballots for our votes. Can you join me at the link below?
