Moles in the Garden:Vendors Undermine US Elections on Voice of the Voters 8/20

Voice of the Voters! Every Wednesday - 8 to 9 PM Eastern Heard on 1360 AM Philadelphia and on the Internet www.voiceofthevoters.org OR http://wnjc.duxpond.com/

How Dependent are we on vendors to run our elections? What have we lost?

Special guest, Ellen Theisen, co-director of VotersUnite! (votersunite.org), will discuss a new VotersUnite! report that looks at the depth of vendor-dependency, some repercussions, and election officials who are resisting corporate control of our elections. From the report: "Citizens both private and public are beginning to realize that they can and must reassert their ownership of elections and demand transparent, citizen oversight of elections."

Ellen will discuss practical, concrete actions anyone can do to help election officials take back their power and protect elections from corporate control.

Ellen's report is entitled "Vendors are Undermining the Structure of U.S. Elections"
