Section :  6.8

Comment :  I sponsored five amendments on the floor of the Arizona House of  
Representatives during the first regular session of 2005 and wrote HB2491 to assure Arizona voters have a voter-verifiable paper ballot...not simply an audit trail.

To hold free and fair elections, we must be able to reconstruct - vote by  
vote - an election. Please make it very clear that I want Section 6.8 to  
require a voter-verified paper ballot for ALL voters and voting systems.  
The current proposal does NOT require voter-verified paper ballot. Do not  
reduce public confidence in our government by not providing this basic  
right.
