Holt Bill Moving in Congress

We're one step closer to solving the problem of paperless electronic voting machines.  HR 811, the bill intro'ed by Rep. Rush Holt, was passed in committee last week and now is moving to the House floor. 

We know Republicans will try to stop it by adding an onerous voter ID requirement, undermining support for the bill.  They claim the ID is needed to prevent fraud -- but even with Karl Rove cracking the whip, the Gonzales Justice Dept. couldn't find any evidence of a voter fraud problem.  Indeed, they fired prosecutors for failing to find such evidence - even though the evidence doesn't exist.  Down the rabbit hole.....

Tell the House to pass the Holt bill.  Take action.
