Just minutes ago, Ohio voting rights advocate Bob
Fitrakis filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding the removal
of secret software recently installed on all ES&S, Inc.
voting machines in at least 25 Ohio counties.
This proprietary software allows vote tabulation numbers to be wirelessly
sent to the Ohio Secretary of State's office. Four million Ohio
voters - that is 80% - depend on these machines to accurately report
their vote. Now, those votes will be initially reported via an easily
intercepted wireless transmission.
Together with Free Press and other key advocates,
we released the news about the lawsuit at a press conference just now
at the National Press Club in D.C.. Fitrakis Skyped-in to the press
conference and gave us the latest. He called on everyone, "concerned
about our democracy to call the Ohio Secretary of State's office
and demand the removal of this suspicious software."
Please do it right now. Call the Ohio Secretary of
State's office at 1-877-767-6446
With the clock ticking, every hour brings new
reports of serious voting rights violations. We can't wait. We
need your financial support and personal pledge so that we are
ready to respond.
Remember:
- Sign the
Pledge of Action and forward it to
everyone you know.
- Donate to our Rapid Response Fund.
- Organize
a Voter Assembly in your community for
Nov 7th, the day after the election.
- Report election irregularities and voter
suppression.
