    Extractions: Greens Demand Paper Trail for Electronic Voting Machines WASHINGTON - May 21 - As Greens lead efforts in many states to defend democracy as the November election approaches, the central committee of the Green Party of the United States issued a resolution demanding voter-verified paper ballot audit trails for every electronic voting machine used in U.S. elections. The resolution, appended below, cites the vulnerability of voting machines to error, equipment malfunction, and tampering. "The stakes in this election are very high," said Linda Schade, lead plaintiff in Schade v. Maryland Board of Elections. Ms. Schade, a Maryland Green, is an organizer of the Campaign for Verifiable Voting in Maryland. "People of all political persuasions are coming out of the woodwork on this issue. No one wants another Florida and, in this cross partisan atmosphere, Greens are in a unique position because we can keep the focus on the issue and off partisan divisiveness." Ms. Schade is leading a cross-partisan group of registered Maryland voters in a lawsuit against the state Board of Elections charging that Maryland's new Diebold AccuVote-TS electronic voting machines fail to comply with state and federal law. Hundreds of voters who were critical of the Diebold machines and asked for paper ballots on Maryland's primary election day (March 2) later learned that their paper ballots were discarded without being counted. A hearing before the State Election Board was held May 19.

The United States will again join consensus on that resolution, because we support an FMCT that advances US security interests. I wish to point out, however, that the United States is reviewing specific elements of our policy regarding an FMCT, and our joining consensus on this resolution is without prejudice to the outcome of that review. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

    http://www.fairvote.org/reports/1993/amy.html
    
    Extractions: The winner-take-all, single-member district election system has been on the wane worldwide because it often produces unfair and undemocratic results. Among other things, it routinely denies representation to large portions of the electorate, artificially restricts the party choices offered to voters and forms a barrier to the election of women and minorities to office. The source of these faults can be traced to a fundamental flaw in the single-member district system: it is designed to ensure representation only for the majority of voters in a particular geographic area. Only those who vote for the winning candidate in a district get representation in this system. Everyone else who may make up 49% of the electorate in the district are considered losers not meriting representation. All in the minority in a single-member district are thus effectively disenfranchised; their vote is worthless because it cannot help elect anyone to represent them. We are all familiar with this problem. If you are a Democrat in a Republican district, a minor party supporter in any district, an African-American in a white district or a white in a Hispanic district, then you can be shut out of electing a candidate of choice by our current election system and have no one to speak for you in the legislature. Under single-member district rules, you have the right to vote, but not the right to be represented through casting an effective vote. This electoral injustice is an inevitable part of our present system.

    http://www.heritage.org/Research/TradeandForeignAid/BG1186.cfm
    
    Extractions: Congress has begun work on the fiscal year (FY) 1999 appropriations for the U.S. foreign assistance program. Each year, foreign aid proponents take great pains to assure Congress that the money the United States spends on foreign aid directly supports U.S. foreign policy goals abroad. Indeed, J. Brian Atwood, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, told Congress in March 1998, In many respects, [the foreign aid budget] is a bare-boned and balanced approach to development and humanitarian programs that will significantly contribute to achieving the administration's foreign policy objectives. There are, of course, aspects of the U.S. foreign aid program that do support U.S. foreign policy goals; among them are military and security assistance programs. But these programs, which are restricted mainly to the closest U.S. allies abroad, comprise less than 22 percent of the foreign aid budget. The largest portion of the U.S. foreign aid budget, economic development assistance, goes to many countries that seldom support U.S. foreign policy initiatives. One way to measure the U.S. foreign aid program's influence around the world is to examine the voting records of U.S. aid recipients in the United Nations (U.N.). Despite the many problems plaguing the U.N., it remains an international forum in which the United States seeks the cooperation of other countries in a variety of foreign policy matters.

    Extractions: Back to Index President Bush gave what we might politely be called a rousing speech in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to a gathering organized by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He stressed the priority he gives to Mexico in the foreign relations of "this great country". He praised the Chamber's support for education and, with a huge pair of scissors, cut the ribbon to a new educational facility. He praised the Mexican Americans running small businesses, saying small business in the backbone of the US economy. Most controversially, he stressed the importance of opening all the US highway systems to Mexican trucks. It is unlikely the Teamsters Union will invite him to address them. Ronald Hilton - 8/20/01

    Extractions: Back to Index Paul Simon agrees with Cathie Adams on the abuse of major US highways and adds the following: "Truckers get a largely free ride (truck taxes are infinitesimal compared with the costs of building and maintaining interstates) as do barges which get perks galore from the Army Corps of Engineers. Railroads on the other hand are privately owned, run and taxed on their rights of way. Damned hard to get any type of traffic off the roads with that kind of subsidy scheme. Knowing full well that any truck company will deny this, I still assert that rail (low friction steel on steel) is a more efficient way to ship goods over distances and a safer way to ship hazardous materials" My comment: This makes sense. Here in California many freeways are jammed with trucks. Fox talks about highway plans, but I have not seen a word about railroads. Trains could bring Mexican goods directly to their U.S. destinations and vice-versa. Do they? If not, why not? Any information would be appreciated. Ronald Hilton - 8/27/01

    Extractions: Archive Index By John Williams This November I had an opportunity to try out one of the new electronic voting machines. Let me be frank: I don't like them. I don't get a receipt. I don't know how my vote is being tallied. In fact, I have no way of knowing if my vote has been cast at all. Which isn't, I used to think, that different from the old physical punch-card or pull-handle machines. But then this blog entry by Bubba made me reconsider. It'd be really easy to write a program that made you think you were voting for someone when you were actually voting for someone else. How easy? It took me about four hours. That's to write the whole thing. To write the bit that skews the results only took about ten minutes. Computers don't lie. They don't tell the truth, either. They do what they are told to do. In fact, it's actually much easier to game an electronic voting device than it is a mechanical one. For one thing, mechanical machines that cheat have to cheat through mechanical processes. Gears have to have missing teeth, or there have to be extra gears and doohickies and other bits and pieces to tamper with voting results as they come in. That alone makes mechanical tampering difficult, because those modifications are very obvious to inspectors.

From an international perspective, the United States ranks 139th out of 172 countries in voter turnout.

There are democracies who swing both ways. Requiring citizens to vote is not a new idea, although it has never been put into practice in the United States. The first country to insist that its citizens vote was Belgium, introducing mandatory voting laws in 1892. It is interesting to note that Australia, a nation that is often compared in frontier spirit to the United States, has had compulsory voting since 1924.
