A very good question that can be answered easily. No! No software for casting ballots. No &#8216;1&#8217;s&#8217; and &#8216;0&#8217;s&#8217;. No DRE&#8217;s in our elections. No! \/ On Jan. 4 and 5 Democracy will again be under attack as the vendor sponsored Election Center goes to Washington DC in hopes of influencing your congress people and Senators to vote against new legislation that we have been working for over the past couple years. Call your Senator and Congressman\/woman and ask them not to be fooled by this group.
