In today’s “Featured” article, Voter
Action had this to say in opposition to S.3212, “The
United States Congress should be investigating, not
financing, the private companies that have sold the DRE
systems to states and counties throughout the country. With
more than 3 billion dollars at stake, the American people
have the right to know whether these companies knowingly

If, in fact, any of these companies engaged in deceptive
practices in accessing public funds, they should be held
accountable and states and counties should get their money
back. Just as Congress needed to apply scrutiny to Big
Tobacco, it is time for Congress to investigate the
elections industry.” We agree with Voter Action and call
on Congress to defeat S.3212 and any other legislation that
“funds and encourages the continued use of this faulty
voting equipment”....
