Re 198 - I thought mju was on the Board when he was 16?
I still remember the Board meeting he couldn't attend because
he was grounded. Not a problem most of us have... >8)

mju and I have both been on the board while under 18. We didn't know it was
illegal at the time.

and it was a damn fine thing you both did, too! if i remember right
mju voted by 440 Mhz <g>. *i* was more than suitably impressed, fwiw.
the number of trips one takes around the sun is a PrettyDamnPoor method
for some situations, this being one.
however for the step-and-fetchit crowd ... GUILTYGUILTYGUILTY!!!! (tsk!)

Besides, I had the chance to walk around the sun as many times as I wanted
the other day. (I made zero trips. Not fair to boost the numbers).

The election is over. I'll count the ballots and post results
as soon as I get a current voter list from the treasurer.

You mean the voters group isn't guaranteed up to date?

Since anybody can run the vote program anyway, it's not crucial
the the 'voters' group be up-to-date during the election, but
before the ballots are counted one has to know exactly who was
an eligible voter during the period Dec. 1-15 so that one knows
whose votes to count.
Mark (aruba) called me last night and gave me some updates to
the list, so I'm now in a position to count votes. I'll do that
shortly and will announce the results in Coop.

how about, jsut for kicks&grins, even if after-the-fact, post the
'valid voters' list as well.
and, perhaps, the list of 'who voted.'
my understanding is also that you could post a 'who voted for whom' list
as well. but that would be tacky. justthe first two requests are fine.

I'm not sure it's anybody's business who voted, unless there's some reason
to suspect fraud.

Ya, I'm under the impression that the list of who voted is confidential. Even
the ballot counters generally don't know who voted. And they *certainly*
don't know who voted for who.

I'm not saying the USofA is the correct model for grex, but while city clerks
etc. don't announce who voted in an election, voting records *are* available
to the public...

By voting record, you mean only whether or not the person obtained a ballot,
or signed in at a poling place. No one can track whether or not you actually
voted.

An interesting technicality! :-) It would be extremely hard to prove (for
whatever reason you'd want to) that you hadn't actually voted in an election
for which you had obtained a ballot or signed in at the poling place...

re - several above comments: the city clerk keeps records on those ppl who
"applied to vote" (that form is an application). and since it is a tad
difficult to leave a polling place withOUT surrendering the received
ballot, (whether marked or mark-less), and the poll workers make sure
the ballots are (in a2's case) inserted into the machine, the names of
all those who "ran the program" are publically available, and commonly
referred to as "those who voted."

it's certainly not confidential information in America.

I've always treated that it that way. Should that change? How
do other folks feel?

I'd say keep it confidential. I don't see any public purpose that is served
by one person being able to find out if another person voted.

well, that sentiment goes a loooong way towards supporting
NO anonymous reading of conferences. this shouldn't be a surprise.
only a rare handful of grexers typed stuff into conferences with
the mindset of "(tons of others) being able to find out if/(what)
another person typed" either.
i like my rare medium well done all over, not just spotty.
if it's nobody's business *if* someone typed into the vote
program, it is certainly less of their business *what* some person
typed into a conference. The exception being, imo, the intro.cf
with public statements about the link.

By that reasoning, what people type into a conference shouldn't
be viewable by anyone else at all, TS. You're comparing apples
and oranges.

Huh? If I type a message into a conference, I am knowingly broadcasting a
message to the world. I am *obviously* not seeking to keep what I type
private. Quite the contrary.
Whether or not I vote might well be something I want to have kept private.

Nope, I'm not knowingly broadcasting a message to the world when I respond
in a grex conference - I'm participating in a passive "conversation" with a
particular cyber-community. And that's exactly why I'm not in favor of
unregistered reading of grex conferences. Let's vote on that , already...
