Publicity of how the city (and/or its clerk) didn’t
follow through on what was thought to be the best method of balloting is
possibly the best and only way of letting the voters know that they will be
using a method that is possibly not the best for democracy. The Daily Camera has helped, but the publicity should
continue. One option to bring focus to this issue is to ask that
voters not endorse the method chosen by not going to the polls. paul -----Original
Message----- Thanks, Ralph, for the
clarification. I'm amazed: Joe, Neal,
Al, Evan, you, etc. research for Elections officials; you trouble
shoot for them; you arrange public presentations for them. History
over the last 2 years has shown the wisdom of numerous CVV recommendations
against Elections preferences (e.g. don't buy DRE, lease a system, look
into handcounting systems, bring smart, informed citizens into the process
rather than ignoring them, etc.) What the hell else do you
have to do to get these people to do their job conscientiously? kell |
