Petition for Paper Ballots
We the People of West Virginia demand our Representatives pass legislation, in the upcoming 2022 session, requiring the use of Paper Ballots in our Elections and Eliminate the use of Electronic (DRE) machines for voting purposes.
- Hand Counted Paper Ballots are considered the "Gold Standard" of fair elections.
- Only paper ballots provide physical proof of the voter's intent.
- Paper ballots can be safely recounted in case of a contested result.
- Counting paper ballots in public provides 100% oversight and transparency.
Unlike Computer voting systems:
- paper ballots can not break down or malfunction.
_ paper ballots are not programmed secretly by unaccountable private corporations.
- paper ballots cannot be hacked or rigged.
