Making your vote count

Submitted by Christian Grantham on May 12, 2008 - 12:00pm.

Paper ballots are one way to create verifiable proof of how people voted in elections. Newscoma and Liberadio focus on a bill before Tennessee's General Assembly that says "the ballot of record shall be a paper ballot marked by the voter." The bill goes to the floor of the House tomorrow.

HB 1256/SB 1363, Tennessee’s Voter Confidence Act, goes to a full floor vote in the House on Tuesday, May 13. In the Senate it has one more committee (Finance Ways & Means) hoop to jump through today, Monday, May 12. Senate F, W & M members are:

Randy McNally, Chair; Douglas Henry, Vice-Chair; Tim Burchett, Secretary; Diane Black, Raymond Finney, Joe Haynes, Rosalind Kurita, Jim Kyle, Mark Norris, Bo Watson and John Wilder.

Please don’t hesitate. Call them now.
