11. OK quick study of site
Edited on Thu Aug-21-03 07:29 PM by PATRICK
No list of donors. The board has some interesting names like Tony Coelho, Edward Kennedy Jr of Connecticut. Most interesting is their high visibility connection to PC Squared the two Bush administration keynote speakers at the WCD convention in Orlando, a proclivity to trust the new tech solutions for the disabled which are many and good, and try to work with the government. They have some critique on Sen. Bond concerning vote reform legislation.

Overall I get the impression this is yet another well meaning organization bulling ahead with its issues, pleased by tech advances in general and impatient to spread their implementation. I hope Bev and others contact this Jim Dickson politely, supportive and eager to learn how to make this better. Or other board members. Regardless of beliefs, Dickson is making BIG reasoning mistakes that raise four alarms, such as touting the record of NO FRAUD compared to paper systems. Well, there is one reason whether there is fraud or not. You can't prove it. And there always is pressure to fraud.

I like the example of the Venetian great families trying to end corruption and partisanship by a complex multiple lottery system of many drawings, controlled bowls and entries for the Dogeship. It was ended when they discovered it was rigged, and probably discovered when the RESULTS became suspicious to the losing families. More on the ball than our Dems it seems.
