What's the difference with filing online if the local won't recognize it? My membership with the National was immediate. If I'm a member in good standing with National then that should filter down to the local. This is an antiquated system," [Rick Riley] said. "The Supervisory of Election (SOE) Committee violated and failed to protect the right of each Branch member present to cast his/her ballot properly. Page 16 #2A of the 2006 Elections Manual states that the actual counting of the votes is the sole responsibility of the Tellers. No officer of the Branch, Election Supervisory Committee member or candidate shall serve as Teller. The SOE committee served as the Supervisory of Elections Committee, Watchers, Observers and Challengers, (i.e. Judge and Jury)," he writes. For now, [Marsha ...
The case could hang on whether one registered voter has a cheery disposition, rosy cheeks, no warts and plays games of all sorts. And if the other's chin could chisel granite. I refer to a story out of Defiance this week, about a man charged with submitting phony voter registrations.
WASHINGTON - What is the most powerful political operation in the country in this 21st century? It's the United States Supreme Court. The men and women in black are on their way to deciding their second national election in just the first decade of the century. In the year 2000, the justices stopped the counting of votes in the presidential election. This year, they tilted (or mutilated) congressional elections by ruling - in the case called United Citizens - that corporations are people, only more so. What they ruled was that corporations (and unions) or groups they sponsor have the right to anonymously pump millions of dollars into campaigns. Citizens, you and me, can give much smaller amounts, but we have to reveal our names and addresses - "transparency" they call that.
Taking note of these developments, The New York Times criticized Diebold's "flawed approach to its business" in a December editorial. "The counting of votes is a public trust," the Times declared. "Diebold, whose machines count many votes, has never acted as if it understood this. In regard to the Hursti hack, [Kathy DeWolfe] echoes Diebold officials, maintaining that this manipulation of mock vote results was achieved under circumstances that would not exist in an actual election. DeWolfe says that Leon County elections chief [Ion Sancho] told her the Diebold machine produces a guaranteed accurate tabulation as long as no one is given access to the scanner's memory card. Diebold spokesman David Bear said in remarks quoted in The Washington Post that what Sancho did "is analogous to if...
WHENEVER someone resigns from a city council seat mid-term, the murmur you hear is the rest of the council counting votes. The majority huddle up and decide on a citizen to appoint who will vote with them, and more importantly, who'll run in the next election with the advantage of "incumbent" next to her or his name. That's politics. Even local governments are infected by politics over policies. But there is another way.
Tea party rhetoric is questionable I had the pleasure of stopping in at the tea party rally in Elmwood Park April 15. The first gentleman to speak made some statements I found, at the least, interesting. He claimed Rep. Tom Perriello almost certainly stole his election in 2008 and that Democrats have won Roanoke municipal elections by counting the votes of dead people.
A recent Op-Ed piece asserted that run-off elections are not needed. The League of Women Voters of Maine disagrees. "Majority rules" is the bedrock of our democracy. The majority of the people should elect our governor, providing him or her the mandate necessary to lead effectively. The League endorses Instant Runoff Voting. With IRV, voters rank all candidates on the ballot in order of preference. In round one, the first-choice votes are counted. If a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the votes, he or she is declared the winner. If no candidate has a majority, the counting goes to round two. The candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated, and the votes cast for the eliminated candidate are then transferred to the second choice listed on each ballot. If a candidate get...
[...] on the counting side, we still have a situation where the apparatus for counting votes in the vast majority of states rests in the hands of ardent partisans, people who are inside campaigns, people who are elected officials.
Arou nd Washington, Rep. Tom DeLay was known as "the Hammer." It's a title he earned for his effectiveness when he served in the role of majority whip. The whip is the person tasked with counting votes and building support for legislation. As whip, Mr. DeLay was uniquely effective at enacting and implementing the Contract With America and key portions of the George W. Bush agenda. He also was able to flex his political muscle within the state of Texas to leave his mark on the redistricting process. Tom DeLay was a very skilled politician. He understood the legislative and political processes better than most. However, his effectiveness put him squarely in the cross hairs of another effective politician: Ronnie Earle.
Away we go!! The off election year 2006 is here and the vultures are swooping down to peck clean the bones of American voters again. But there will be no fair elections if there is no election reforms that remove the "DeiBold" voter-rip-off," we fix it like you want it," machines and the processes by which the counting of votes is presently conducted. Nothing made the condition in America so clear as the beautiful little old, [Hazel Trice Edney] eyed Black lady victim of the hurricane Katrina as she testified before Congress this past week (CNN, December 2005). She said that the only thing we as American and New Orleans citizens have to fear is the "isims" that American Propaganda has sold to us- the sexism, sectionalism, racism and the most vicious "ism" of them all the... What real...
