Lowell Finley's should be appearing

on Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN , Friday, June 9, 2006 at 6 PM
EDT (3PM PDT). Kitty Pilgrim and Lou Dobbs have been taking an in-
depth look at the issues of electronic voting and election
privatization and have pledged to continue to investigate the
problems associated with outsourcing and privatizing our democracy.

CNN tracked down Lowell in California at the Alameda County Board of
Supervisors meeting to vote on purchase of a new elections system.
Lowell was there to state: "Voter Action applauds Alameda County for
its apparent decision to drop Diebold electronic voting machines.
However,
to replace Diebold with another insecure, unverifiable e-voting
machine from a different
manufacturer does not solve the problem. If the Board of Supervisors
decides to buy the Sequoia electronic voting machines, Voter Action
will go to court to block the purchase."

It is clear that citizen oversight and legal action remain vital to
making our elections more transparent and accountable to the public.

Meanwhile, we are gearing up for discovery in the pending lawsuits in
Arizona, California, and Colorado. Your support will be crucial to
the success of these endeavors. Please help as you
can and share this plea with your friends.

Tuesday's primaries demonstrated again the value of optically scanned
paper ballots. The reports of machine failures around the country
are reminders that, unlike machines, paper ballots not only create a
lasting and permanent record of the voter' s true intent; they also
don't break down or fail to boot up.
Most sincerely,
