Bev Harris on Voice of the Voters May 28th, 8PM ET Raising the bar on election protection vs. "Oops!" Why has a culture of "OOPS" permeated and been tolerated in the election industry, when it would not be acceptable for minimum wage workers in corporate America? It's as if our elections are now a game of limbo---"how low can we go?"

Racial Profiling on Tennessee Voter Reg Cards It's time to play offense on voter registration and disenfranchisement. Those most likely to be targeted for disenfranchisement will be the traditional vote suppression targets: youth, new voters, ethnic minorities, senior citizens, independent and non-affiliated voters. Of special concern: States that have racial profiling embedded into their voter lists.

Oregon & Kentucky: Scribbled sigs & moonshine math In this article you will find tools to help you analyze the numbers as they come in from Kentucky and Oregon's May 20 primary elections. Kentucky is a big problem, Oregon is just plain strange. In Oregon, 100 percent of votes are absentee, or mail-in. In Kentucky, one firm programs 96 of the 120 counties, and the state has a spectacularly bad history of election fraud.

Voting Rights Advocate Susan Pynchon Honored by Florida ACLU Susan Pynchon is one of the truly brilliant researchers and voting rights advocates in America today. Black Box Voting has worked with Susan and her organization,the Florida Fair Elections Coalition,quite often since both our organizations were founded in 2004.Pynchon is recognizable to those who watched "Hacking Democracy" as "the woman who cries at the end."But she consistently picks herself up and comes back swinging.

Cancelled or changed, there's a whole lotta shuffling going on in W. Indiana database Because IN is implementing an ID requirement,& this requires that voters' name and address match when the voter registration database is compared with their ID,an unscrupulous data entry person would no longer need to PURGE registrations in order to knock people off the voting rolls.All that's required is CHANGING the registration slightly,to introduce typos.Alter Bev Harris to Ben Harris and change 973 to 793.Gone.Poof.

Pennsylvania: The Worst Place to Vote in America PA's worse than FL because FL has GREAT public records laws,which have an important feature,they explictly put ballots under public records laws.PA's worse than TX(a close second!)because it's got a more pervasive history of organized crime and TX has overly expensive,but semi-decent freedom of information laws.PA's worse than OH because OH has good, reasonably priced public records accessible to anyone &require paper ballots.
