Beth Clarkson wants help in making KS vote counting verifiable. [View all]
Beth Clarkson, whose law suit asking KS Sec of State Kris Kobach to allow her to count the paper print-outs of the vote from the most recent KS election will be heard in court in March, is asking for help thwart Kobach's latest possible ploy. Several counties are now going to change the method of vote counting. This will include Sedgwick County (Wichita KS) which is the county whose voting machines she wants to recount. Beth is asking people to write letters to let the authorities know the voters' desires in this regard. Here is the letter:

And here are the minimum requirements she feels any new vote counting method must satisfy:

I live in Sedgwick County and I plan to write a letter. If you are not in Sedgwick County and would like to write, you might emphasize the great concern that citizens of other states and counties in the US have to make sure the vote is fair and verifiable, that what is decided here will contribute either to the fairness or unfairness of vote counting across the country. But add anything you think might move the powers that be to make the vote VERIFIABLE. At a bare minimum, there MUST be paper to use in quick checking (auditing) or recounting in case there is reason to believe that the vote results were not arrived at honestly.
