NASS.org will hold "New Voter Forum" May 21 in Wash DC - Facebook & Twitter have been invited
They're allegedly going to discuss outreach to minority voters -- would like to be a fly on the wall to hear whether they have plans to offset the rampant voter suppression of minority voters.
There is a panel discussion that includes FB & Twitter.
