Kucinich on electronic voting machines
Kucinich has an extensive new section on his website about Electronic Voting Machines. The section consists of an introduction and ten additional pages of information. The introduction is produced below:
At the Core of Democracy: Electronic Voting Machines
Introduction
Democracy today is at risk by the very instrument which seeks to uphold it. Electronic voting machines with meager security and significant technical flaws threaten to undermine our voting rights and thus the reliability of the election process. Without federal review and software testing, these voting machines are being marketed by companies and bought by states at an alarming rate. We cannot wait for Congress to pass legislation to address this danger. We, the people, must take action NOW to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the upcoming 2004 election!
I, Dennis Kucinich, have created this website to educate the American public about the dangers of current electronic voting machines, and to empower and enable individuals to take preventive action in their communities by taking inventory of their local County Election Board's voting equipment.
As citizens of the United States of America, we are fortunate to have a voting system that is designed to uphold democracy as the bedrock of our society. Although not flawless, this system serves to deliver our political representatives through a process aimed at creating a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. This type of government is essential to our democracy and, for the sake of the public interest, it must be preserved.
