Reply #11: Now is the time to unite behind the Voter Confidence Resolution

[GuvWurld]

It has never been appropriate to simply take shots at what's wrong. We have to offer solutions and address the question "what would be better?" That's what the Voter Confidence Resolution (VCR) does. Not only does it include an election reform platform--a collection of changes that could collectively ensure conclusive election outcomes and create a basis for confidence in the results reported--it also creates the means by which we challenge the assumption that the government still has the Consent of the Governed.

The VCR is meant to be adopted on the local level, as the City Council of Arcata, CA did on 7/20/05. We should be targeting all our City Councils and County Boards of Supervisors. Another step I'm beginning to work on, and REALLY need help with, is creating an outline that gives Supervisors the beginning of an action plan for how to transition from current conditions to the conditions defined in the VCR reform platform.
