I'm pleased to see that Jim Leach signed on. The right to vote, and to have our votes counted, is the bedrock of our democracy. Those rights were taken from us beginning in November 2000. The theft of our democracy by people who claim to want to export democracy to the Middle East is a tragedy. I sincerely appreciate people such as yourself who have joined the fight against fradulant voting and vote counting. I didn't realize that Iowa's voters were in danger of not having their votes counted until I read recently that my home country, Humboldt County, had purchased Diebold machines. I live in Cedar County now and always vote absentee in general elections because my husband and I leave in October to travel to Arizona for the winter each year. It is satisfying to make my mark on a paper ballot. I just came across this Web site this evening and will check back often to see how things are going. Thanks again.
