On Capitol Hill Thursday, about 60 citizens wearing "Got Paper?" t-shirts attended a packed hearing on H.R. 550, a bill introduced by Representative Rush Holt with 218 bipartisan co-sponsors that would require all electronic voting machines to produce a voter-verified paper record. This paper trail would be utilized for mandated manual audits that would increase the reliability of our democratic process.

"The last six years have brought us example after example of the problems caused by unverifiable voting machines," Holt said in a released statement. "There is legitimate cause for the current crisis in voter confidence, yet Congress has done nothing to make election results auditable."

[..]But opponents to the bill - such as Republican Representative John "My name says it all" Doolittle - pointed to a recent recount in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which showed problems with 10 percent of the paper receipts. Read on..

Right, John, because being able to verify a problem is far worse than just trusting in an easily hackable system, isn't it?

Lt. Col. Charlie Brown (USAF, Ret.) is challenging Doolittle for his seat as one of the "Fighting Dems". Show him some love if you can.
