This came from Linde from Washington. It looks like they are endeavoring to get some changes made to the ballot in Washington. See the link below. Perhaps our group should be proactively seeking to get some bills forwarded regarding elections as well with our legislature.
Something to think about.

The State Government/Tribal Affairs committee has several bills concerning elections they are considering. I think they are all worth reviewing to see if there is something the coalition would like to weigh in on. Four of them are only two pages long, the other one is thirteen. Here's links, not the official titles, just my attempt at describing them.
Karen Murray
Only two pages: HB 2418: Making Initiative and Referendum Signatures Public
Only two pages: HB 2483: Allowing Overseas and Service Voters the ability to vote by fax, email, or other electronic means Only two pages: HB 2495: Allowing for ballots to be opened, secured, but not tabulated previous to 8PM on election day Only two pages: HB 2496: Ballot design - order of measures and order of presidential candidates, including third parties Thirteen pages: HB 2467: Concering PAC's, PDC, fundraising - rules and regs for PAC's and Candidates, including dates of filings and formation of committees, what fundraising is required to be reported, etc.

I sure don't like this part here:
Once the verification and canvass of signatures is complete, the 15 names and addresses of persons who signed the petition are public 16 records under chapter 42.56 RCW and may be made available for public 17 inspection and copying.
Does this mean that the names can be released online? And will this lead to solicitations? I might not object to someone going to Olympia to examine the names (though NOT to copy the names). I would object strongly to people being able to check these names online. This could lead to all sorts of abuse.
Also, would this be somewhat the equivalent of people being able to examine our ballots to see how we voted?

Constitution party won a lawsuit to keep signatures on petitions
private. So, Karen, any comments?

| The lawsuit over privacy of petition signatures isn't settled yet. The US Supreme Court will say on January 19 whether it will hear the case. Otherwise the 9th circuit opinion will stand and there is no privacy. The case is called John Doe v Sam Reed, 09-559 in the US Supreme Court. --- On Sun, 1/10/10, Linde Knighton <wap...@gmail.com> wrote: |
