Honest Voting

I don’t normally review groups based on what I think of their web page, but nevertheless I want to tip my hat to SAVE Our Votes in Maryland for offering an information-filled and clean-looking website. Also for their spot-on acronym — “S A V E” stands for “Secure, Accessible, Verifiable Elections.” More concretely, the site also offers a good collection of links on “how to get involved and stay in touch with your representatives.”

SAVE Our Votes is referenced in a later post on this blog.

The group might want to update its otherwise useful Excel spreadsheet of the Number of Registered Voters in Each MD Precinct by Party Affiliation, since that list was only good through July 2007. Useful in many respects, to be sure, but is that really the latest information?

SAVE Our Votes is associated with the International Humanities Center, for what that’s worth. The biographies of some of the Center’s board members raise my eyebrows a little bit — connections with the rightwingish Renaissance Foundation, for example — but perhaps that level of diversity is just a reminder that secure elections concern everyone of every political stripe.
