Get A First-Hand Look At A Local E-Voting System

We know that "black box voting" is a huge issue this election cycle, and one we are extremely concerned about. A local company, TruVote International, claims to have a voter-verifiable paper trail. We're not endorsing their solution, but think that everyone interested in this issue should take advantage of this invitation from TruVote:

"TruVote International, Inc and Microsoft cordially invite you to attend a demonstration of the TruVote DRE voting system. The TruVote system provides a voter verifiable paper audit trail.

There is also an additional optional feature that will allow a voter to verify that his/her vote was actually counted in the official election results. TruVote’s chief technology officer will be available to answer any questions you may have about the system.

The demonstration will take place on Tuesday, April 20, 2004 from 10:00am to 12:00 noon. The address is as follows:
Microsoft Corporation
Hood Room
Building 33
16070 N.E. 36th Way
Redmond, WA 98052

Please RSVP to truvote@truvote.com or 425.451.1964. We look forward to meeting you and demonstrating this state-of-the-art voting system."

Let us know what you think about this important issue!
