My Vote Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream fame dished out a little political activism with his ice cream on February 17 in Washington, D.C., when he called on secretaries of state throughout the country to secure electronic voting machines. Accompanying Cohen were the secretaries of state from Washington and Vermont, as well as Rice University computer scientist Dan Wallach who co-authored one of the first reports that detailed security problems with the Deibold Election Systems electronic voting machines. The Computer Ate My Vote campaign, which raised $100,000 in its first two days of fundraising in early February, is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization which has 400,000 members, though Cohen believes the group’s goals are shared by more than 50 million Americans. The group sends e-mail alerts to members when issues arise that concern them and organizes fax campaigns to congressional representatives. The group is focusing on e-voting regulations at the state level because a bill before the U.S. Congress to mandate a voter-verified paper trail has stalled. Representative Rush Holt’s (D-NJ) HR 2239, also known as the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2002, requires electronic voting machines to produce a paper trail of voter receipts. The receipts would allow voters to verify that a machine recorded their ballot correctly and would be used if a recount were necessary.
