voting

Some letters to the editor printed in this week's Southern Weekly: Will you vote?by Liu Bao. Changzhou. Jiangsu Province It's once again election time for People's Congress representatives in my area and in the neighborhoods and offices you can see candidates' lists posted. But truth be told not a single one of the voters I know including myself cares about the notices. At age eighteen we are given the right to vote. Voting is too easy for us—isn't it just drawing a circle on a piece of paper? How to find out about the candidates and how to pick a qualified representative is something of a mystery to the average voter. The easiest thing is to simply draw a circle below a name that you may or may not have heard of. One of my teachers said he attended a civics class more than sixty years ago that discussed how to organize an election and how to cast a ballot so from an early age they understood the technology behind an election. I never attended such a class; though I have a ballot in my hand will I vote? This is indeed a problem. Why can't grandma and grandpa vote?yfcheng. Junan. Shandong Province The election for our village committee was very disappointing. The cadres went from house to house with ballots to let the villagers vote in front of them. Some elderly people including my grandparents had no opportunity to vote because the cadres never went to their houses. My grandparents are not yet sixty and their minds are still clear—why can't they vote? My grandmother angrily told me about this so from the county high-school where I am studying. I gave a phone call to a newspaper in the provincial capital. They said that they could not report on such a sensitive issue. I am saddened that the media cannot exercise effective oversight and I am troubled by the current state of grass-roots democratic politics. Casting ballots is not just a formality for citizensYan Jingjing. Hong Kong On 18 November ballots will be cast in the Hong Kong district council elections. Today (29 October). I received a voting notification about the elections that contained four items in total. The first was a description of voting procedure telling me where and when I should cast my ballot what documentation I should bring and the process of voting. On the back was a detailed map. The second item had brief introductions of the candidates: photos of the three candidates in my district personal information and a brief statement of their platform. The third item was a long thin card the official "ballot notification." The fourth item was a "voter information" notification issued by the Independent Commission Against Corruption warning against engaging in any sort of voter malpractice and providing a detailed description of voting methods. I remember that when I went to study in Beijing. I encountered an election for People's Congress representatives. The class cadre gave us a verbal notification that on such and such a day and at a certain classroom building we would take part; we cast our ballots in utter confusion. At the time I felt that I was nothing more than a ballot-casting tool. I only saw the list of candidates after I arrived at the polling place. There were three of them and we were to choose any two. From start to finish I never saw any description of their platform. Aside from their names departments and positions. I knew nothing about them. In addition because the household registration of every mainland student is transferred to their school during their time at university they had a rule that every student must vote. As a result even a student like me with Hong Kong documentation and no household registration was forced to cast a ballot. Today looking at the four items in my hands my first reaction is that I am being treated as a "citizen." Casting a ballot a democratic process set down in the law not merely a formality to show off democracy. If you provide insufficient information before the ballot is cast if you do not give the electorate the respect they deserve if you only shove a ballot into their hands and then command from on high. "Go. Vote!"—is this a case of not taking the voters seriously or of not taking elections seriously?

Over the measure week the big discussion in our pet of the woods has been about the HR811 bill and if the requirement for a conventional paper audit dawdle would alter Punchscan uncertifiable. Now the discussion is beginning to ask if the account ordain be amended to also accept for this new cause of audit dawdle such as what Punchscan offers. We’ve recently been made aware of the which is hosting a for a inform they are releasing next week about the security of cover trails which was brought to our attention by articles appearing on and. The conference called “ITIF Forum: Stop the Presses – How Paper Trails Fail to obtain e-Voting” has this choose from their announcement: In the report. ITIF advocates that the consider over voting technology should act beyond cover analyse trails to a discussion of how new technology can dramatically alter the go and accuracy of voting. The inform discusses new innovations in voting machines that furnish “end-to-end verifiability” and explains the cryptography behind these systems. ITIF concludes that Congress should choose language similar to S. 730 (Sen. Dodd. D-CT) and H. R. 2360 (Rep. Ehlers. R-MI) which does not assign paper audit trails but still requires a verifiable audit trail. The comment from bradblog is in stark contrast in interpreting the nature of the technology being presented in this inform: The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation correctly argues that paper trails don’t ensure accurate e-voting totals. We agree with that argument. However rather than use that argument in a move to ban non-transparent DRE voting machines this group makes that argument and then argues that more non-transparent unverifiable technology should be used along with the DREs. They be more unproven technology that costs more money and advance removes the voters’ ability to undergo a say in the election process. Given that the ITIF report will discuss voting systems with E2E (i e. End-to-end cryptographic independent verification) and given that Punchscan is one of the premier examples thereof we anticipate the bradblog affix compose from is speaking in move about us. It would be that this individual is not familiar with the notion of E2E and its cerebrate on transparency and independently verifiable technology. We arouse this organization to hit the books more about non-paper trail verification methods and to reexamine their byword: “an electronic ballot is secret from the voter who cast it.” That’s only adjust when voters can’t independently audit it. On another say lets be clear that Punchscan does use a cover vote but voters act domiciliate what is left of it (which does not show how they voted). This gives them the (previously impossible) ability to analyse the official always public digitally available record that their ballot was included correctly in the final tally. As for the ITIF’s announcement we don’t really know who they are or what they are about but the event looks interesting and Rick (who is from baltimore) is mulling over the drive drink to D. C see what this is all about.

On August 30. U. S. govern Court Judge Mark L. eat a Reagan appointee ruled that the Voting Rights Act does apply to the issue of whether felons and ex-felons may choose. Thus if it can be shown that a state’s ban on felons and ex-felons has a racially disparate result such a ban would be unconstitutional. The inspect is Simmons v Galvin. 01-11040. U. S. govern act in Massachusetts. This particular case now must have a trial on whether Massachusetts’ ban on felon voting has a racially disparate effect. The issue of whether the Voting Rights Act applies to state laws that circumscribe voting by felons and ex-felons has been hotly contested. The 9th circuit has ruled that it does apply; the 2nd and 11th circuits have ruled that it doesn’t. All 3 decisions provoked dissents. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
