July 13th, Nationwide "Computer Ate My Vote" Day of Action

We need volunteers with experience to organize rallies in support of voter-verified paper ballots (VVPBs) across the country.

VerifiedVoting.org joins with Common Cause (CC), DemocracyForAmerica (DFA), Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), MoveOn, TrueMajority and other nationwide and local grassroots organizations in this exciting opportunity for direct action to increase election integrity in your town, state, and nationwide.

Synchronized events in at least 19 locations around the country, plus other locally-planned and organized events, will apply pressure to state and local elections officials to protect our votes.
