Here's what Sandra Spangler wrote to the others on the Senate Judiciary Committee:
Dear Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee:
I am concerned that Arizonas election system is in need of reform.
Breaking news about the unreliability of electronic voting machines and Arizona laws that prohibit hand counts that make it difficult and in most cases impossible to order recounts requires the immediate attention of the Arizona legislature. I endorse Senator Karen Johnsons bipartisan bill SB 1557 that includes carefully thought out provisions to regain voter confidence in the fairness of elections in this state. I urge you as a member of the Judiciary Committee to remind Chairman Senator Huppenthal
why opposition to this bill is untenable and politically unwise since he represents LD 20 which is currently at the center of the disputed 2004 primary election. The perception is that Senator Huppenthal has partisan reasons for opposing this bill. I have written the Senator why he is on the wrong side of what is a civic issue and must not block or threaten to kill this bill.
Sincerely,
Sandra Spangler

We need people who live in LD 20 to put the pressure on
Senator Huppenthal !!! There was an attempt to recall
Huppenthal. We are researching that.

BILL HB 2859, ELECTION REFORM:

Subject: HB 2859 ELECTION REFORM
Dear Members of the House Judiciary Committee:
A source named the State of Arizona as the third worst state for election irregularities. That's pretty bad since there were so many irregularities in Ohio and Florida and with their touch-screen machines.
We have plenty of examples of an original count being overturned in AZ. There are 7 ways the tabulation at election central can be frauded and the Eagle machine in the precincts have a two way modem and therefore can be hacked into and wiretapped.
The state of Arizona should be ashamed that in 2004 some people waited in line 6 hours to vote and thousands dropped out because they couldn't wait until midnight. We have disenfranchised no telling how many voters!
Sen. Huppenthal is resisting the hearing of SB1557. This is the exact same bill as HB2859. Please protect our most basic right and support HB 2859 in House Judiciary committee.
California, Colorado, New Hampshire and other states have hand recount audits. A hand count audit is the only way to discover fraud or machine malfunction.
Remember, a programmer by the name of Clint Curtis, testified in a
congressional hearing that he was hired by Candidate Feeney from Florida to fix the software so that he would come out with 51% win. Rep. Feeney is still in Congress to this day!
