I wrote last week about the press conference Chellie Pingree spoke at with Senators Clinton, Boxer and Kerry on the introduction of the Count Every Vote Act, the bill challenging Congress to fix what's wrong with our voting system.

See this interview on The Raw Story where I talk about the bill:



Of course, passing this legislation in this Congress is the longest of long shots, but never give up hope. We'll also be working in many states to pass these and similar reforms. We've got to fix this - it's a basic right - we've got to have confidence that our vote we'll be able to vote and that our vote will be counted as cast.
