Call Now to Support Mandatory Audit of Election Results for 90% Accuracy

SB 72 is Sen. Cisco McSorley's bill to strengthen the current requirements for mandatory automatic audits of electronic vote tabulators. The measure, which has the support of election reform activists, received a Do Pass from the NM House Appropriations and Finance Committee yesterday by a vote of 18-0.

The procedures defined in the bill would ensure a 90% probability that any defective opscan machine would be detected if its counting would change an election outcome. The bill has already passed the Senate, and is now headed to the House Floor. Please contact your Representative and urge him or her to support this bill and do what they can to get it onto the packed agenda in the House in the final days of the Legislative Session. The 60-day Session ends at Noon on March 21. Click to find your Representative and his or her contact info.
