USCountVotes' powerpoint presentation used this weekend at a Berkeley Teach-in is available. You are all welcome to use it to assist others in raising awareness if you would like.

I have also posted a presentation which details the privatization of our voting systems:

FYI, Here is a picture of me at the Teach-In in Berkeley on Saturday.

The Berkeley Teach-In was terrific because it enabled coordination of efforts at a dinner for the speakers and organizers that will move our efforts to investigate the accuracy of elections and ensure fair accurate democratic elections by 2006 forward.

USCountVotes' statistical audits of elections will be as important a measure of election integrity as exit polling. USCountVotes' is going to make all its detailed precinct level data public however, and will work with any group that conducts exit polls that plans to make their detailed data public as well.

Our database design is nearly finished, and we're making concerted efforts to obtain funding to hire full-time programmers and system administrators to finish a secure volunteer signup and login system and other systems needed to begin archiving and normalizing election data.

Best regards,
