Questions for Voter Participation Groups

 

 

Why are so many Good Government Groups:

 

·        Complacent about private corporations counting our votes?

 

·        Uninformed about the use of computerized voting to target minorities for “blank votes”?

 

·        Unwilling to inform themselves, or meet with activists for paper ballots, optical scanners, and accessible ballot-markers for voters with disabilities or minority languages?

 

·        Waiting for someone else to take a position or leadership on “who’s counting the votes”

 

·        Convinced that the voter populations they serve will continue to trust our elections and turn out to vote -- even after election returns that are obviously wrong?

 

There is no “neutral” stand -- if we don’t oppose electronic voting this year, we will have it in New York State next year.
