Section: Diary Topic: Election Integrity

Washington Citizens for Fair Elections
Tuesday, March 27 at 6:30-9:00p

SPEAKERS

Toby Nixon, former State Representative
Gentry Lange, election integrity activist

LOCATION

University Heights Center
5031 University Way NE Seattle, WA
Seattle WA 98105
206-527-4278

Room 107 (north end of the building)

PROGRAM:

Former State Rep. Toby Nixon will discuss the effort to make the director of King County Elections an elected office.  King County is the only
Washington county with an appointed elections director. A group of citizens is promoting I-25, a King County initiative for the November ballot. I-25 would create a separate Department of Elections with a separately elected Elections Director, responsible directly to the people. The implementation schedule would complete the transition to a new, independent office before the 2008 fall election cycle.

Gentry Lange will give a presentation on Vote By Mail (aka "Forced Mail Voting").  On March 13 Seattle residents held their first election with all mail-in ballots and without traditional polling places.  Is this an improvement?  Does it increase the chances for election fraud?  Is it cheaper than the "old" system? Come and hear Gentry's analysis of this voting system and discuss our possible responses to it.  As a preview, you can visit Gentry's Web site where VBM news and analysis are collected: http://novbm.com.

yo zap and fred and other tin-foilers
on my left wing is a good diary about CA and testing these crooked machines.

-- I spent about 1/2 min typing this and cutting and pasting, so, whatever is wrong / incorrect / inaccurate - comment to pyrrho.

I hate paper ballots.

"California's elections chief is proposing the toughest standards for voting systems in the country, so tough that they could [have the result of banishing] ATM-like touch-screen voting machines from the state. For the first time, California is demanding the right to try hacking every voting machine with 'red teams' of computer experts and to study the software inside the machines, line-by-line, for security holes."
