<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I know I am sounding like a broken record,
but I need to replay it: e-voting is an issue that is not being adequately
attended. If we cannot be sure our voting system is reliable, we are essentially
giving up our right to choose our leaders, and leaving every right and
every aspect of our lives open to the whims of the "elected"
representatives.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>The Human Rights Caucus feels that this is
too specific an issue to deal with, and that it is more appropriately a privacy
and security issue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Losing a clear right to vote puts all of
democracy at risk. I think this is a theme worthy of immediate attention, and
very strongly feel it should be included.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Would somebody please take the time to
explain to me why I am in such a minority on this point? What am I
missing?</FONT></DIV>
