More on the Election: Ballot Blues

A very politcally active friend of mine sent me a message with this address. I don't "do" forwards, but am at least willing to post this info. Take a look at this website or the New York Times story if you have some time:

This is the most prominent news coverage this issue has ever gotten, so it could be our one last chance to get this right before the election in November.

Congress is poised to consider a new emergency paper ballots bill next week—but we'll have to convince them to act right away. This is an urgent petition asking local, state, and federal officials to require paper ballots for our votes. Click here to add your name:http://pol.moveon.org/paper2008
