Talking Points (See www.uuvv.org for more info)

1. We want voter-verified paper ballots in all precincts for November 2004

2. No technical fix is needed! Each precinct has paper absentee ballots--just print more of them.

3. Democracy requires our votes be counted as cast, but unaudited computers cannot guarantee that.

4. 30% of Americans will vote in November on machines that:

Cannot do meaningful recounts

Cannot be audited for accuracy

Are not transparent to voter oversight

5. We demand respect for our vote and our citizenship!

6. Trust is not appropriate in elections. Verification is!
