True Majority Calls for Paper Ballot Funding

Support emergency funding to the states to print paper ballots in the upcoming election.

From a True Majority action alert:

"Paperless electronic voting machines will be used
once again this fall, and already during the primaries they
failed. In Maryland crowds of legal voters were turned away from
the polls when the machines couldn’t be
started.

There’s a simple safeguard – have enough
paper ballots on hand so the election can go forward even if the
machines let us down again. Obvious, right? Senators Boxer
(D-CA) and Dodd (D-CT) have introduced a last-minute bill which
would provide money to any state that is willing to print up the
paper ballots. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and there’s no reason not
to do it."

Except for the ever present cry of poverty by Republican controlled state governments who have arbitraged away their tax bases, of course. "It’s too expensive!" they’ll claim. Well, it’s easy enough to allay that problem…
