Day 2: Operation P.O.P (Please Offer Proof)

I’m a proofer. He’s a proofer. Wouldn’t you like to be a proofer, too?

Yesterday was the first day I asked Secretary of State Tre Hargett and State Election Coordinator Mark Goins for proof that even one vote cast during any election using the 100% unverifiable electronic voting machines we use now in 93 out of 95 counties in Tennessee has ever been recorded accurately, as per the voters’ intent.

I’m calling it Operation P.O.P (Please Offer Proof).

Today is Day 2. Coodinator Goins has said previously that he doesn’t see anything wrong with the machines we use now and Secretary Hargett is willing to forgo implementation of the 2008 Voter Confidence Act that would give Tennesseans paper ballots as well as the ability to do a meaningful recount because he thinks it’s would be a waste of money.

We may not see eye to eye on these positions but both men owe it to the people of Tennessee to show that the machines we will be relying on to give us a fair election in 2010 will count every vote cast and count it accurately.
