Voters Unite Warns Sen. Feinstein’s Election Reform Bill is a Constitutional Heresy

From Ellen Theisen, Co-Director and Managing Editor, www.VotersUnite.Org:

June 11, 2007 -- Senator Dianne Feinstein’s bill S. 1487, “The Ballot Integrity Act of 2007,” was introduced on May 24, 2007. Some were expecting it to be a companion to, and improvement on, Representative Holt’s bill, H.R. 811. (See Theisen's new post on The Brad Blog, which delineates the serious failures of the Holt bill.) Far from an improvement, S. 1487 introduces surprising — and disturbing — new provisions. The bill systematically dismantles government by the people, and it sanctions the disenfranchisement of “distinct communities” such as racial minorities. What follows is a discussion of these disturbing provisions. Click to read the report.

ALERT: Please contact your Senators and tell them that you oppose S. 1487, and before writing another bill they must learn more about the electronic voting machine industry, the use of electronic voting to disenfranchise minorities, and the past problems citizens and States have had with the EAC. If necessary, refer them also to the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.
