Many thanks to the amazing beautiful people who showed up today for the hearing on H 4935. This bill supports one day of voting on hand-marked paper ballots that are hand-counted. Although we didn't get to speak, it was a victory. Fifty-one people showed up for a hearing in which they knew they might not have a chance to speak and they did so last minute!!!!
They had to open up a room to accomodate the overflow of people who wanted to testify and hear testimony on H 4935 the SAVE Act. Many of these folks had taken off work and were eager to testify. One young man was angry as he did take a day off and was disappointed that the people were not heard. We hope that he tells his friends about how things work at the state house.
Afterward, most of us went to the offices of the committee to sign the representative’s book and let them know we were there and that we had been looking forward to testifying.
Some of us taped our own testimonies afterwards in the lobby. Here are the ones we received. If you would like your voice to be heard please record a statement on Zoom and send it to scsafeelections@zohomail.com; we will include it in the blog below.

Remember that for every one person who showed up there are thousands who care about this issue. Many wanted to go, but couldn't join since it was last minute.
The attendance and passion shown today prove that elections ARE IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE and that the PEOPLE WANT TO return to PAPER.
If you want another hearing, please contact the first 4 authors of bill H 4935- Representatives Joe Bustos, Matt Leber, Kathy Landing and Tom Hartnett and ask them if they will have a hearing on this bill.
