Submitted by NCVoter on Fri, 04/04/2008 - 2:47pm."UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections" will be showing in Greensboro and Burlington NC on April 17, and 18th respectively. This movie was produced by David Earnhardt, a Greensboro NC native. David will be present after both showings to answer questions.
I have seen "UNCOUNTED" twice now, and for once in my 4 years of e-voting activism, can recommend a movie. This isn't just about voting machines, its about voter suppression and caging. This movie is about REAL people and REAL events, and will wake up even the most complacent voters. Don't miss this great opportunity to see the movie and meet the producer!
In Act of Desperation, Robin Hayes Moves to Suppress Valid Provisional Votes
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Wed, 11/15/2006 - 5:17pm.Larry Kissell continues to act to protect every vote cast by an 8th District voter. Robin Hayes acts to suppress them. I am heading out the door, so will take the liberty of copying and pasting the press release that just hit my in box. I'm sorry. I usually like to write my own posts.
Biscoe , NC – Robin Hayes' lawyers have now filed protests with most of the county election boards in the 8th District challenging officials to not count hundreds of provisional votes cast in last week's election.The public documents filed on behalf of Hayes request the suppression of votes cast in Cabarrus, Cumberland, Stanly, Union, Scotland, Richmond and Hoke Counties for a variety of reasons, including registered North Carolina voters that didn't check a tiny box claiming US citizenship and completed forms not signed by precinct officials – both examples of historically valid provisional ballots.
