“Where does it say that machines should have the right to take our vote away?” -- from the song “If You Want to Be a Voter”
A BATTLE CRY TO TAKE BACK AMERICA
When 18,000 votes (15% of total!) go missing because of faulty or corrupted computer touch screen machines (known as DREs), then you know:
ELECTRONIC VOTING’S IN, DEMOCRACY IS OUT
(That’s what happened in Sarasota, Florida in 2006.)
When the judge in the case says corporate trade secrets outweigh our constitutional right to have proof that our vote counts, then you know:
ELECTRONIC VOTING’S IN, DEMOCRACY IS OUT
When lives are lost in Iraq, ripping apart their nation and ours, while here at home, our votes are lost to secret computer bytes, ripping apart our democracy, then you know:
ELECTRONIC VOTING’S IN, DEMOCRACY IS OUT
That’s what this song is about!
“If You Want to Be a Voter” by Lori Rosolowsky chronicles the insidious demise of democracy in America, but it’s also a
battle cry to take back our country:
“We have the right to see our vote, have proof it really counts.
Raise your voices and demand DRE machines be banned.”
