 <description>&lt;p &gt;  &lt;strong &gt;     PPC Presentation to the State Elections Committee by Stan Merriman  	  &lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;p &gt; &lt;strong &gt;DO TEXANS WANT `FAITH-BASED&#039; VOTING OR VERIFIABLE VOTING?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p &gt; My name is Stan Merriman. I am the Chair Emeritus and co-founder of the Progressive Populist Caucus of the Texas Democratic Party. I am here today representing my Caucus, which authored the &amp;quot;Resolution on Protection From Election Fraud&amp;quot; which passed our 2004 State Convention to become the official position of the Texas Democratic Party. This Resolution advocates the incorporation of a voter verifiable paper ballot with all electronic voting machines used in our Texas elections. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
