Posted on Monday, February 5, 2007 - 9:27 pm:        Examine the bill and post your commentary on it by hitting the "more" link below. This bill is not a product of consensus among election integrity groups, and should be thoroughly examined and vetted out by the citizenry of the United States before signing on. Have a go at it -- post your comments here -- and Black Box Voting will weigh in with a formal position on the bill Tuesday.   Bev Harris Frequent Voting Rights Forum Participant Username: Site_admin Post Number: 544 Registered: 10-2006 Best of Black Box? N/A Votes: 0 (A keeper?)
