Voter-verified paper trail passes in the House!

Written by: Gina Angiola on Mar 9, 2006 4:43 PM EST

HB 244, the critical voter-verified paper trail legislation we've all been fighting for, passed today in the House of Delegates with a key amendment (the Hixson-Bobo amendment)mandating the lease of OptiScan machines for use in the 2006 primaries and general election! The governor has stated publicly that he supports this legislation. Now is the time to get our senators to commit to passing this same legislation (SB 713)...immediately! Please contact your senator, as well as Sen. Paula Hollinger and Sen. President Mike Miller, and let them know we are counting on them to provide voters with OptiScan machines in time for this year's election. To find legislators: http://mdelect.net.
