AN IMPORTANT NEW REPORT FROM BLACK BOX VOTING

From Bev Harris: I've been absent from the public eye for nearly four months, involved one of the most comprehensive examinations of voting information since 2005.

To help fi­nance these pro­jects, we need na­tional and state in­fra­struc­ture banks. 2. Cre­ate 21st-Cen­tury En­ergy Jobs. We should in­vest in Amer­i­can busi­nesses that can power our coun­try with in­no­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies like wind tur­bines, solar pan­els, ge­ot­her­mal sys­tems, hy­brid and elec­tric cars, and next-gen­er­a­tion bat­ter­ies. And we should put Amer­i­cans to work mak­ing our homes and build­ings en­ergy ef­fi­cient. We can cre­ate good, green jobs in Amer­ica, ad­dress the cli­mate cri­sis, and build the clean en­ergy econ­omy. 3. In­vest in Pub­lic Ed­u­ca­tion. We should pro­vide uni­ver­sa
