They're Back! Women's Voices Women Vote Sowing Confusion Again With "Registration Drive"
(2 comments) The DC non profit "Women's Voices Women Vote" is at it again confusing voters & burying election officials in unneccesary paperwork. WVWV did this to 26 states in the 2008 and in 2007 - pumping out registration forms seemingly willie nillie to 6 & 14 yr olds, deceased persons, registered voters, even to Rosemary Rodriguez. One way to disenfranchise voters is to "gum up" the system that enfranchises them.

It turns out that Takoma Park Maryland, the home base for IRV, has Zero NADA minority representation. "All of its elected officials are white." And voter turnout flat out sucks.

(6 comments) Fads trump election transparency.(electronic voting?). Since North Carolina passed its paper ballot law, its been harder to mess up the vote. So here comes Instant Runoff Voting, which is hardly transparent. NC tested IRV in 2007, and found a "creative" 100 plus steps method to count IRV on touchscreens.This may get a test again in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Why bother working for verified voting when it gets undone so easily?

Update on Robo Calls in NC - Investigation Heats Up - African Americans Key Victims
(2 comments) The investigation into the illegal robo calls targeting African Americans in North Carolina is expanding. Although NC's Atty General has said the calls are illegal, high profile voting advocates are shying away from the "politically incorrect" story.

Why would we allow a voting method that we know will disenfranchise certain segments of voters from the get-go? This is not moral.

New: Voting Machine Companies to Congress - ALL YOUR VOTES BELONG TO US
(1 comments) The Voting Machine Lobby reacts to amendments to the Help America Vote Act. In the Vendor Lobby's letter to congress, it becomes clear: Amendments to HAVA will hurt voting machine companies, the audits will provide an inconvenient truth, and the ban on toilet paper ballot will stick us with lots of unsold inventory. Vendors are not ready to give up their private control of our elections.
