If you live in New York State and think electronic voting machines stole the last election for George Bush there is ONE SIMPLE THING you can do about it.

Go to http://home.nycap.rr.com/edelstein80/hava_letter.pdf and print the form letter you will find there. It is a written appeal to the New York State HAVA Committee to endorse paper ballots and optical scan readers for New York State.

This is a pre-addressed, self contained letter you can personalize. All you have to do is print it, fill it out, fold it, attach postage and drop it in the mailbox.

Take two minutes to tell New York State Legislators that paper ballot and optical scan is the best choice for New York.

Please, If you want to do something about electronic voting and don't have a lot of time—take two minutes of your time and do this ONE SIMPLE THING, because If you don’t, your legislators will only hear what industry lobbyists are telling them.

If we can defeat the electronic voting machine lobby in New York, then they can be beaten in every other state as well. The facts are on our side-- a paper ballot and optical scan voting system creates the most accurate and verifiable record of your vote. It complies with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). And is less expensive than any other system being considered by the legislature.

If you want more information about why this is important, go to http://home.nycap.rr.com/edelstein80/ny_vote.htm

And if you think this is a good idea, please share it with others

Sincerely,
