Two BBV Questions

[Eloriel]

1. Has anybody researched -- or asked R. Doug Lewis -- who's on his Board of Directors? He's got to have one, right? I don't think you can incorporate at all -- whether as a non-profit ( which would be a 501(c)(3) ) or a regular corp or an S-Corp -- without a BoD. In Georgia you have to have at least three -- a Pres., Secretary and Treasurer, IIRC.

2. Does anyone have a link for a nice collection of 2002 (and even incl 2000 if available) electronic voting glitches? I've got a few links, but not quite what I'm looking for. I think Bev had her own compilation, but I haven't found a link for that among my bookmark treasurers.

AND, please check out this request for some urgent research help from Bev, if you haven't:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=175906&mesg_id=175906

1. you don't need to have other people...

you can legally be all three -- President Secretary and Treasurer -- all by yourself. I've had an attorney set me up as a corporation.

R. Doug Lewis can be a one man show.

However, he does need to file papers (in the case of a corporation it would be with the Secretary of State of that particular state) with the state. The exact papers and where they are filed varies state to state.

3. It depends on the state, actually

In Georgia, the President and Treasurer cannot be the same person.

Eloriel, I answered question #2 for you in the other thread.

Sorry, can't help much on the R. Doug Lewis question, but I know Bev can (she's just working on the book right now - it may be a few hours).

A word about "computer glitch" vs. software programming error
"Glitches" seem to have no owner and bring with them an aura of expectability, if not respectability. Software programming errors, whether accidental or not — ask for accountability.
