Demand Open Source Voting Machines

This just in - Senator Chuck Schumer announced that the Senate Rules and Administration Committee will be investigating the Diebold/ES&S sale, signaling that election reform is a possibility if we demand it now!

We have Senator Schumer's attention - now is the time to tell the committee to make the open source voting machine software a focus of its investigation of the Diebold / ES&S deal.

Petition to Senator Chuck Schumer and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee will read:


Thank you for investigating the recent sale of Diebold to Election Systems & Software (ES&S). I am also urging you to take the next step in restoring voter confidence in our elections process by demanding that their voting machines software be made open source. It's critical that voting software be made available to election officials for inspection..
