RE: Are we asking people to boycott the City election?
I'm not sure that I have an opinion one way or another about boycotting,
it's not my town.
But I do have an opinion about the systems and methods that will be and are
being used already. They stink. They haven't been proven to work properly. I
hardly care if the election results don't come back for weeks. I care about
accuracy. Considering past events using these methods, I think that we can
either have accuracy or speed, not both.
If speed is desired, then it is pretty likely that overvotes and undervotes
will be ignored, which means that voter intent may also get the quick once
over.
Foremost in my mind would be the flawed Logic and Accuracy Test performed by
the county Clerk. The test only proves that it is not a good test because it
can't find problems; not that the systems are flawless.
Oh yeah - I am not an idiot - I know who is listening (reading).
I am also not operating in a vacuum.

Subject: Are we asking people to boycott the City election?
Folks,
There was discussion about asking voters to boycott the Boulder
special election awhile ago.
Today's Camera says the ballots are in the mail. if we're serious,
we need to tell people. i have the emails of the 140 who signed up
to hand count the nov. election as well as personal lists. We'd also
need to write letters to the editors NOW.
Evan
