New York State: Mixed reviews for new voting machines

Posted on November 5, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Here in my county, Suffolk, we had the regular, lever voting machines (though, there was an electronic one available for people with disabilities.)  A Green Party State Committee person who experienced electronic voting this week was very dissatisfied, and wrote a rant on a green list-serve. I prefer simple, and the old machines. Though, […]

Posted on November 4, 2009 by kwilder

Kimberly says…Okay, so the “winner” was a plain old Democrat candidate. And, my co-blogger doesn’t even think this belongs on our blog.

NY-23 Congressional Race: Looks like the Democrat won

Posted on November 3, 2009 by kwilder

Well, I didn’t want to care about this race. At the beginning, the only choices on the ballot were: A Democrat; a Republican; and a Republican running on the Conservative Party line. Not much hope for a third party, progressive. Though, my interest was peeked when the Republican dropped out of the race. And, Sarah […]

“Reject Bloomberg on November 3!”, says ICE teachers union members

Posted on October 30, 2009 by kwilder

KW: I truly see independent and third party politics as a journey to freeing people from the regular, old choices.
