BayFF — a Bay Area discussion group for civil liberties issues — is having an important meeting on Tuesday, Oct 12 at 7PM in the 111 Minna Gallery to discuss E-Voting:
Democracy is government by the people, and the right to vote is critical to determining what each of us wants of our government. Nearly one quarter of American voters – more than 35 million people – will exercise that right using electronic voting (e-voting) terminals in this election. Unfortunately, due to equipment that has been hastily developed and poorly tested, your right to vote is in greater jeopardy than ever before. There are widespread reports of voting terminal failures, and growing concern about the (in)security of these machines is fueling fierce debate over how to ensure the integrity of our elections. EFF is working to ensure that votes are verifiable and to train poll workers about what to do when the machines fail. Come listen to our team leaders talk about the latest developments, and share your thoughts on how we can make sure that every vote is counted.
