GATHERING
TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY
COMMON CAUSE / TENNESSEE
Who
are we
We are a grassroots
group of Tennessee citizens who are working to ensure that all elections
are transparent and verifiable.
- We have no financial stake in
decisions regarding voting machine technology.
- We are not being paid for our
efforts.
- We are doing this on our own time.
- We stand to gain nothing except a fair and verifiable election process in Tennessee, the most important prize of all.
What
We Believe
All elections should
be conducted using paper ballot voting systems that ensure the highest ethical
standards, full enfranchisement, and independent verification, while using
only secure electronic voting equipment.
What
We want
- Every vote cast must be a
paper ballot that has been marked and verified as accurate by the voter.
This ballot is the ballot of record.
- Mandatory recounts of a sample
of ballots after every election to check for problems and verify results.
What
Action Is needed
- The Tennessee Legislature should
pass a law as soon as possible requiring voter verifiable paper ballots.
Call and write
your state legislators telling them we need this law. Time is running out
to implement any new election legislation before this most critical 2008
election.
