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
these goals. /

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
voting systems.

*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.*

**************

The *next meeting of Gathering to Save Our Democracy is this Thursday,
December 13,* 7:00 - 8:45 PM at Davis-Kidd Booksellers at the Mall at
Green Hills. Please join us.

**************

*UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections by David Earnhardt will
be shown again on December 19 and 20 in East Nashville* at the Service
Employees International Union (SEIU Local 205) Hall at 521 Gallatin
Avenue. Come at 6:00 PM for snacks and conversation. The movie will
begin at 6:30 and will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker
and with others about necessary actions to make our votes safe. *The
event is free of charge and everyone is invited. If you have not seen
this movie, now is the time! *
