Title: Counting Votes

Dear Election Review
Committee,
I believe the 2004 elections were some of the most important in our country’s
history. I worked as a volunteer on election day to help get out the vote.
It was very disappointing, then, to see Boulder’s returns delayed, and delayed,
and delayed. Our county’s voice was silent as the rest of the state spoke out
in national media coverage, in spite of Boulder’s incredibly high rate of voter
turnout.
I feel discouraged and disempowered by the new voting system. I don’t trust the
proprietary software and I think the delays in getting the results are
inexcusable, suspicious, and embarrassing.
I urge you to require open, publicly verifiable software, or to count the vote
by hand. Please put me on your list as a volunteer for a hand count if needed.
