Electronic voting machines must have verifiable paper trail
As legislatures are updating voting equipment in response to the federal Helping America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2001, we support the growing movement of citizens calling for a strict requirement of a voter-verified paper audit trail for all voting machines
installed across the United States. Electronic voting machines must include a verifiable paper trail that allows every voter to verify that his or her vote was recorded and counted accurately, coupled with random audits based on the paper trail.
Technology must be used that incorporates a voter-verified paper trail that is accessible to vision-impaired voters.Vote-counting software codes manufactured by private corporations have been deemed proprietary, banning public review of
the means by which elections are determined. Therefore, to protect against fraud, voting machine source code must be open for public inspection and verification before and after an election.

End space-based military aggression
The Green Party calls for the end of Space militarization and opposes any form of space-based military aggression. We support only the peaceful and sustainable exploration of Space, including the signing of the International Treaty for the
Demilitarization of Space. We advocate a reduction of human-staffed space flight due to the high cost and risk for human life and the availability of automated technology that can perform necessary functions in space-based research.
