Experts for the U.S. Congress to Consult with on Election Integrity Legislation

U.S. voting and elections systems are still insecure and wide-open to vote fraud and voter disenfranchisement according to experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and U.S. computer experts.

Here are recommendations for federal legislation to ensure the integrity of our democracy:

and here is a list of experts that the U.S. Congress may consult with:

http://electionarchive.org/ucvInfo/US/ExpertsList.pdf

on questions and details concerning federal legislation to ensure the integrity of our democracy. This list of experts is not an exhaustive list, but is rather meant to be a managable size for Congress. The highly qualified experts on it know many other experts who can be conferred with.

For ordinary citizens to exercise oversight over election integrity and be empowered to detect vote miscount and voter disenfranchisement, it is vital that:

1. Sufficient, transparent, verifiable manual audits of machine vote counts are conducted, and

2. Election records and data are publicly released

prior to any election results being certified.

Please contact your US House Representative and Senators and urge them to implement these recommendations and to consult with independent experts prior to finalizing the wording of any legislation.

To have any possibility for having auditable voting system and sufficient manual audits of vote counts in place by the November 2008 election, federal legislation must be passed and funded in early 2007.

Please contact the staff of your representative and senators before the end of January.

Thank you very much!
