38. How could that be?
I see no requests for funding in Hursti Report II. I saw no requests for funding in the New York Times. Had there been requests for funding, I have no problem with it, since it takes funding to do these studies.

But let's say this actually was a fund raising effort, rather than its mirror image (an example of how funds are spent to further election reform). The fund raising would go to Black Box Voting, Inc., a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. Since Harris is on a fixed $60,000 per year salary that does not change, how would fundraising go to Bev Harris?

Perhaps you meant to say "fund raising for Black Box Voting, the independent elections watchdog group that produced the study."

Or perhaps you are using another propaganda technique by converting an organization's name to a person's name. Fund raising for the nonprofit entity "Black Box Voting, Inc." becomes fund raising for "Bev Harris" personally.

Is it your intent to shut down Black Box Voting, Inc.? Is that what this is about?

One really must wonder how eliminating the work of Black Box Voting, Inc. would benefit election reform. Perhaps it benefits a different agenda.
