New group forming in Vermont
We have paper ballots here but we need random audits and open software.

if you are in Vermont, please join us in our efforts to make Vermont's elections more secure, open, and verified.

the group is forming through the use of Yahoo! Groups. our group name is "vtvote". you can PM me if you want an invitation, or you can go here and sign up:

thanks and peace

Heard it on MSM last week.

3. I think they are the smartest and the most elightened too. Where
did you hear that? The Corporate Media? Where?

4. we're not that good...(!)
we have some shortcomings here. don't forget we have a republican governor (who knows if Diebold handed him the election). and a lot of gullible rednecks who listen to Rush Limbaugh every day, once you get out of the city.

one of the biggest things I think we're missing here is citizen based initiatives. we have no way for the public to put something on the ballot.

and it's too friggin cold here!

5. How will you start? Interested because we're discussing in MN.
Trying to get grassroots movement going. Planning to start with the local (neighborhood) council and work up.

Ideas?

here's a link to the study
