MoveOn out of touch for Election Integrity issues?
MoveOn's messages on Election Integrity always come from Noah Winer, who is MoveOn's Media Action Director. I am on many Election Integrity mailing lists, have attended many conferences, and read much on Election Integrity. However, I have never seen anyone identifying themselves with MoveOn in any of those places in the past few years. I think if MoveOn wants to play a role, they should have someone spend who can spend a considerable amount of time on Election Integrity issues. If not, they shouldn't issue alerts just because someone at PFAW or Common Cause tells them to.
Who is for H.R. 811?
There are a few people in the Election Integrity community who are actively campaigning for H.R. 811. One is Kathy Dopp of the National Election Data Archive. She summarizes her views in An Analysis of the "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act" (H.R. 811) . PFAW and Common Cause are for H.R. 811; in fact Ralph Neas of PFAW is supposed to negotiated the compromise of July 27.
What if I voted already in the MoveOn poll?
If you still have the MoveOn email and want to change your vote, try voting again. I'm not sure what this does; there is no error message, so it is worth a try.
