The
Voter Confidence Resolution is a template. Any org or community that wants to adopt it can modify it however they want. I've written extensively about which aspects ought to stay intact, conceptually, in order for the optimal cumulative impact. But otherwise, removing the word federal makes sense to me.
I think as it developed for Arcata there was a sense that we should shy away from suggesting there was any local problem. Things have changed. Over the past few months I've generated quite a bit of media attention talking about the interpreter code making our machines illegal. Here is a
radio interview I did yesterday and a front page
news story from two weeks ago (.pdf). Perhaps now we could have gotten the resolution through without limiting it to federal elections. But the point is moot here and you can do as you wish where you are. Most recently,
progressive Dems in WA have adopted the VCR and
made several wording changes (.pdf).
