2) Recommend to the General Assembly that legislation be passed
immediately that mandates voting systems that use or produce
voter-verifiable paper ballots. The optimal electronic system for this
is the optical scan voting system. /

/3. Specifically, recommend passage of *The Tennessee Voter Confidence Act
**(**HB 1256 Rep. Moore; SB 1363, Sen. Haynes)* that would accomplish

Tell them to take any action they can to insure that we all vote on
voter-verifiable paper ballots in November 2008. The touchscreen
paperless machines used in 93 counties MUST go. We need optical scan

*It's not too late to restore election integrity in Tennessee, but we
must act NOW. We can't afford another unverifiable election in our
state. Not when the solution is achievable NOW.*
