Summer Elections

Today's post is two fold:

1) I hope that you are following the ongoing battle for a locally elected Supervisor of Elections to have decision making authority. Ion Sancho, Leon County's Supervisor of Elections, and one of the best election experts in the country, continues to be targeted by the Republican lead leadership of Florida. The title bar links to a story in yesterday's paper regarding how Cobb, the Jeb Bush appointed Secretary of State, is trying to change state law to give the state the power to approve how Election Supervisor's test there machines. Why, after all these years, would the State need this power? Because Ion Sancho has found flaws, with the machines the state is requiring him to use, that allow the results of the elections to be tampered with and changed.

2) Don't forget that this Monday is an LCYD meeting, and that we will be holding officer elections for the next year this Monday. Rules and procedures have been sent out over our Yahoo Group (There is a link to join ---------->). I hope to see you there!
