Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
Might we get a volunteer to attend meetings of the Santa Clara
County Citizens' Advisory Commission on Elections (CACE) and
possibly serve on this Commission? The last I heard, they had an
"at large" vacancy, which means that anyone in Santa Clara County
could apply. I was planning to apply, but then decided to move to
Kansas City, so I couldn't. <br>
<br>
<br>
This is the ideal forum to push electoral reforms like
enforcing legally required campaign finance disclosures and instant
runoff voting. They meet the second Tuesday of each month
(canceling only in some cases where it conflicts with a major
election). I've attended and commented at several meetings. Dave
Kadlecek of the Peace & Freedom Party serves, and I believe it
would be good if we got someone from the Green party. <br>
<br>
<br>
Their next meeting is this evening; see below. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>
Spencer <br>

<pre>Steve, Mike and Spencer,
I will be there in any case, and I generally take notes anyways.
However, it would be good if Mike and/or Spencer came and made it
obvious that they were interested in the RfP process for new voting
equipment (probably by signing up to speak on the item). If I say
something in response to what the Registrar or Assistant Registrar say,
that's part of my responsibility as a commissioner and doesn't indicate
public interest in the way that one of you can.
