Support the Davis Amendment to the Holt Bill!

Hi AfDers and friends,
Please read this article on the Holt bill--"Will House Leaders Duck Debate on Electronic Voting Compromise?" by Steven Rosenfeld.

The Holt Bill is a "reform" designed to ensure our votes get counted the way we cast them. Critics of the bill as currently written, including the Alliance for Democracy, have advocated a No vote for several reasons including that the bill encourages the use of DRE voting machines instead of mandating voting on paper ballots.

This article notes that an amendment to the bill has been offered which would be a major step in the right direction. It is because many groups, including AfD, have insisted that the Holt Bill must be amended that we have gotten this far. Let's keep up the pressure.

Please call your Representatives in the House NOW now and ask them to support the Davis Amendment to the Holt bill and to demand that the amendment be voted on.
