VoterAction is
asking that you sign a petition to Congress New evidence revealed in Dan Rather Reports' "The Trouble with Touch Screens" raises serious questions as to whether US voting systems companies have committed commercial fraud in jurisdictions across the country. Our friends at VoterAction announced an action alert to ask the United State's Congress to take action to investigate "the increasing influence and control that private companies wage in the way we conduct our elections and to determine whether certain US voting systems companies have committed crimes under federal and state anti-fraud statutes which should be referred to the appropriate authorities for prosecution". Sign the petition to call on selected Congresspersons (see below) to conduct a full investigation into the dangers associated with the privatization of our public elections and to determine whether certain US voting systems companies have committed crimes under federal and state anti-fraud laws which should be referred to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
