Help stop BBV in Iowa
Here is a link and a brief excerpt from the Sioux City Journal regarding the purchase of new voting machines - touchscreens.

<http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2004/04/06/news/local/b6d6a693cc4116ec86256e6e001a3eee.txt>

Excerpt:
The newest technology is the touch-screen voting machine, in which voters do not fill out a paper ballot. The latest in optical-scan voting, which Woodbury County uses, also will be shown.

Woodbury County Auditor/Recorder Patrick Gill, who also is the county's election commissioner, said he is considering upgrading the county's voting machines. He is scheduled to discuss the matter at the county board's weekly meeting this morning.


Patrick Gill is a good Democrat. All of you in the know about the horrors of BBV "technology", please email Patrick at pgill@sioux-city.org His website is here: <http://www.woodbury-ia.com/departments/auditor/> I have no doubt that Patrick will listen to us and take our concerns before the Board of Supervisors. Our Board is majority Democrat, so if we educate them, we will get paper ballots. I have already written to him to plead that he allow a paper receipt for purposes of a recount.

PLEASE help! Thanks
