I wonder how many groups are out there? Think of all of the people fighting for election reform!

[Bill Bored]

5. New Yorkers for Verified Voting, and Common Cause

http://www.nyvv.org/

[demodonkey]

6. Hi -- hey don't forget new Pennsylvania site --

www.votePA.us

Thanks -- MB

[Jo March]

17. Awesome! I see you guys are doing some fierce work up there

demodonkey, you never cease to amaze me!!

[rigel99]

7. CORRECTION... wrong URL for Count Paper Ballots

Count Paper Ballots
www.countpaperballots.com

you have NRVI.org, so they may deserve their own link as well...

[Jo March]

13. rigel99, it's right in the database so no worries! :)

I just sorted without including a column. That's why it's showing up incorrectly.

[rigel99]

27. CAN you fix it on the post above....

I'm a stickler about making sure folks can get to me..
and I have lots of good things cooking RE: legal activity and want folks looking for me to find me...

thanks!

Rig-GA... hee hee...

[rigel99]

28. woops

see that it's fixed later in the post..
my bad...
oops..

thanks arnheim for this great work....

!!!!!!!!

[Jo March]

31. Sorry I screwed it up so badly

It's not the fault of the software but rather the fault of the user (me).

x(

[emlev]

8. a few more, a broken link, a comment

broken link:
United For Secure Elections http://www.ohioforward.org

These additions come to mind:
CASE-America
Rainbow PUSH
Velvet Revolution
U.S. House of Reps Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff
Nashua Advocate

Some of your listings aren't really groups, but websites.

Then there are the individuals, such as Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D. who aren't groups. (His site is http://web.northnet.org/minstrel/alpage.htm).
and Blogs, of course.

What's the name of the group putting on the Nashville conference?

I don't know what project you're working on, but are you distinguishing between folks working on election reform and folks working on election justice? In my mind, the distinction is that the reform piece is what we try to change for the future and the justice piece also includes seeking remedies/repercussions for what has happened in the past.

[Jo March]

14. emlev, thanks for the comments

I want ANY and EVERY URL concerning either election reform or election justice. Blogs, Yahoo groups, websites, group names, whatever is out there. I'm putting it all in a database where I categorize them according to what they are.

It is not so important to separate them here, just get as many as I can.

Also, even if they are just websites, chances are there is a person behind the website, right? I want to reach that one person as well as the groups with many members.

As for election reform vs. election justice, again - reform will mean seeking remedies and repercussions for fraud. You can't really have one without the other as folks will continue to commit fraud if they think that they can't be punished.

[emlev]

26. one more

www.juiceforjustice.com (website of Emily Levy)

[Jo March]

32. Thanks. I'll add that one in as well

[Jo March]

18. www.ohioforward.org does not work

Is the site temporarily down?

[garybeck]

9. it seems like all the URLs are wrong

Maybe you copied and pasted the urls from a different source? I don't think any of them are right

[Jo March]

15. garybeck, it was copied from a spreadsheet

I messed up the sort. x(

It was entirely my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

[garybeck]

46. i always thought that they should lock the rows by default

when a spreadsheet is sorted. i've done that many times.

gb

[Jo March]

53. Yes, it's very, very annoying - but I should have checked first

before posting.

D'oh!

[tommcintyre]

10. Our Hawaii group

Safe Vote Hawai'i
http://www.safevotehawaii.com/

[Jo March]

16. Oh, thank you!

Hadn't caught that one. I'll add it in.

[Jo March]

11. Perhaps I should have just said "URLs for election reform info"

Sorry.

The links were just copied from a spreadsheet which seems to have been garbled. I'm seeing now that they are all garbled. That's my fault - sorry. I sorted and apparently didn't pay attention to the fact that it screwed the links up

[Jo March]

12. Links got messed up during a spreadsheet sort - sorry for that

The links in my list are right. They just got squirreled when I sorted them. I just now noticed that they are messed up.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

[Jo March]

19. UPDATED LIST with your additions

21. WOW! Thank for this list! n/t

[Jo March]

23. I'm getting more every day - mostly groups that are sympathetic

but not necessarily working on election reform.

I'm going to post an updated list periodically. New groups are popping up here and there.

[Cookie wookie]

24. Fantastic Job -- Thanks!

A couple more:

Voter Choice Coalition http://www.voterchoice.org

Thanks!

[rigel99]

29. Arnheim ROCKS

who here on this DU Board thinks Arnheim rocks???

I DO , WE DO ... you rock dude.. keep up the list making...
I have my friend getting phone #/fax # as well as main contacts as well.. will share when he gets done.....

[Jo March]

35. Why, thank you! I am getting contact info for EVERY URL that is listed

I don't want to just get links. We need to communicate with these folks.

I'm picturing groups from FL or NC or OH interacting with groups from all over the country, sharing information and backing each other up in the fight! We can't do that without 1) knowing who all is out there and 2) knowing how to get in touch with them.

* has mobilized us all. That is the only good thing to come out of his useless administration so far.

Thanks. I'll add them to the list and read that primer!!

[Einsteinia]

37. Many of the DFA groups have very active Election Reform Committees

that are doing research, educational house parties, recommending legislation, etc.

Check out the DFA/Marin County.

[FogerRox]

40. Every county in NJ has a DFA group

[Jo March]

43. Do you happen to have their URLs and contact info?

That would be so super cool if you did...

[Einsteinia]

49. for Marin County DFA:

38. Don't forget PDA! We got you the Conyers hearings ;)

"In the five years that I have worked in Congress for Rep. John Conyers as a senior legislative assistant, the PDA is the most effective progressive national organization that I have worked with. On a shoe string budget, the PDA was able to move the issue of voter suppression in Ohio to the very top of the Congressional Radar Screen because of its extensive grassroots base, and the PDA's technical wizardry of the internet. As a result of their efforts, Rep. John Conyers has introduced legislation that protects voters from disenfranchisement. The far right has the Christian Coalition, Rush Limbaugh, Heritage, and Carol Rove. We now have the PDA! Without the Progressive Democrats of America, we simply will not have an organized grassroots lobby to effectively counter the powerful and well funded right wing, which currently has the political strength to privatize Social Security, dismantle Medicaid and Medicare, and dramatically reduce funding for affordable housing, education, and job programs. The PDA is rapidly developing a committed and energized grassroots base across the country; something the Christian Coalition and the far right have already accomplished. Finally, democratic party activists, through the leadership of the PDA, are fighting back the right! Thank God for the PDA! With adequate funding, I am confident the PDA will become a new grassroots political force that will move America in the right direction." - Joel Segal, Senior Legislative Assistant for Rep. John Conyers

41. Kevin, you dashing beast, how could I forget PDA?

I have PDA on the list but you guys aren't working directly on election reform so I didn't include your site on this post. You ARE in the database and categorized as an ally to our work. :)

I didn't want to list all 283 links here, just the ones that are working on election reform/justice primarily.

[Jo March]

44. UPDATED LIST # 2

Well, okay, this is amazing. I've added all of your links but will only show URLs of groups/individuals who are working primarily for election reform/justice. All other URLs will be categorized according to their primary purpose.

It is important to have as many of these other groups as possible as we will need their help to achieve our goals.

I just didn't set the category flag to Election Reform which leaves them out of the query results.

48. A link to the National Election Reform Conference in Nashville

Though our statewide grassroots group (Gathering To Save Our Democracy) doesn't have a functional web-site yet, we do have a link to the National Election Reform Conference that we are hosting, to be held in Nashville on April 8-10. The web-link to that conference is: www.freepress.org/conf.php

So far, over 40 supporting organizations and people coming from 25 states. Hope to see lots of you here.

[Andy_Stephenson]

51. One you left in that should have been left out...

since all they are concerned with is money and fame.

www.blackboxvoting.org

[Jo March]

54. Andy! So nice to see you

Yes, I debated and debated about that one, especially after what they did to you.

Maybe we should put a disclaimer on it, no? ;)

[rightfoot]

84. im glad you left it in, because of the investigative stories

Its all good, research is research.

The Malaysia story was fresh, and the one about unreported Deibold lobbying payments for the guys company that was hired by the california secretary of state.

I say we need new investigative material, and blackboxvoting.org has got a couple stories out this month that no one else had.

I don't care about who likes who but I do like good quality investigative work and they do that there.

In most states, the Secretary of State, is the top election official.

But not always.

68. great collection of links, I need some advice. I need to start gently and

convince our county party chair that not only did election fraud happen, but it is fixable. Here was the comment I got: "I don't believe in all the conspiracy theories, because if I buy into that then all I am doing is a waste and everything we are trying to accomplish is a waste and I shouldn't even bother, elections will never be perfect.

I told him it is fixable. I asked him if he was aware that lots of countries, even third world countries have more democratic elections and he absolutely refused to even talk about it.

This really blew my mind, but it is too important to blow off. Dems need to acknowledge that this exists and unless it is addressed and corrected then the rest of his statement is correct. It is all a waste. Without free and fair elections all other issues are moot.

Please give me some advice on how to approach him and what information to give him. I'm not sure what he does for a living but obviously the mental processes are in denial or he thinks in black and white terms, both of which are alien to my way of thinking.

Any ideas or advice would be appreciated

[Wilms]

69. Yep. Start gently.

Do you want to convince them the 2004, at least, election was stolen. Or do you want him to look at verifiable systems.

He wouldn't necessarily need to buy into the former to embrace the latter.

72. Also, so far I have 68 groups whose primary purpose is election reform

You can give him some links and let him start reading up on this.

We can't all be conspiracy theorists, can we? ;)

[garybeck]

74. refer to the experts

the US Count Votes report is signed by a bunch of PhDs, that may help crack the ice. It's all about getting a foot in the door. If you can just get him to look at it objectively the facts speak for themselves. Even without proof that it was stolen, most people admit it is not right to have paperless systems that can't be recounted, and partisan companies (funded by defense contractors) making the machines that count our votes.

most people agree our election process should be open to the public. it's even a law that it should be. But it is not. That's what we need to fix. Maybe shy away from trying to convince him that it was stolen and focus more on the problems that exist today.

also helps to point out all the legitimate organizations that are getting involved in the effort to fix the system. it's not a bunch of wackos.

82. Voter Confidence Committee

www.voterconfidencecommittee.org

This is an organization that has been formed in Humboldt County, CA to pursue passage of the Voter Confidence Resolution (below) and to individually advocate for implementation of the reforms listed therein. Our work has led to a town hall forum in Eureka on preferential voting; the resolution is expected to get a public hearing soon in Arcata; and we are lobbying the County Supervisors not to continue their negotiations for the purchase of Diebold machines and instead to support the development of the Open Voting Consortium's awesome open source solution.


Voter Confidence Resolution
(v6.0, LAST UPDATED: 4/23/05 11pm)

Whereas an election is a competition for the privilege of representing the people; and

Whereas each voter is entitled to cast a single ballot to record his or her preferences for representation; and

Whereas the records of individual votes are the basis for counting and potentially re-counting a collective total and declaring a winner; and

Whereas an election's outcome is a matter of public record, based on a finite collection of immutable smaller records; and

Whereas a properly functioning election system should produce unanimous agreement about the results indicated by a fixed set of unchanging records; and

Whereas recent U.S. federal elections have been conducted under conditions that have not produced unanimous agreement about the outcome; and

Whereas future U.S. federal elections cannot possibly produce unanimous agreement as long as any condition permits an inconclusive count or re-count of votes; and

Whereas inconclusive counts and re-counts have occurred during recent U.S. federal elections due in part to electronic voting devices that do not produce a paper record of votes to be re-counted if necessary; and

Whereas inconclusive results have also been caused by election machines losing data, producing negative vote totals, showing more votes than there are registered voters, and persistently and automatically swapping a voter's vote from his or her chosen candidate to an opponent; and

Whereas inconclusive results make it impossible to measure the will of the people in their preferences for representation; and

Whereas the Declaration of Independence refers to the Consent of the Governed as the self-evident truth from which Government derives "just Power";

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

Because inconclusive results, by definition, mean that the true outcome of an election cannot be known, there is no basis for confidence in the results reported from U.S. federal elections; and

Be it also resolved:

Ensuring conclusive results is only one necessary step toward creating a new basis for voter confidence in U.S. federal elections. Additional reforms that would take further steps toward building voter confidence include:

1) voting processes owned and operated entirely in the public domain, and
2) clean money laws to keep all corporate funds out of campaign financing, and
3) a voter verifiable paper ballot for every vote cast and additional uniform standards determined by a non-partisan nationally recognized commission, and
4) declaring election day a national holiday, and
5) counting all votes publicly and locally in the presence of citizen witnesses and
credentialed members of the media, and
6) equal time provisions to be observed by the media along with a measurable increase in local, public control of the airwaves, and
7) presidential debates containing a minimum of three candidates, run by a non-partisan commission comprised of representatives of publicly owned media outlets, and
8) instant runoff voting (see H.R. 5293) and proportional representation to replace the winner-take-all system for federal elections;

Be it further resolved:

When elections are conducted under conditions that prevent conclusive outcomes, the Consent of the Governed is not being sought. Absent this self-evident source of legitimacy, such Consent is not to be assumed or taken for granted.
