New Mexico's Vote Data In Hands Christian Reconstructionists

2008-12-05T10:52:27Z

More at www.theuptake.org. New Mexico's elections, like almost all of the rest of the nation's, are carried out by private companies on electronic voting machines. These machines have vulnerabilities, and the contractors running them inspire suspicion as well. See a previous story about Auburn See Wolf, the company that keeps New Mexico's voting data in a guy's basement here: blip.tv

The Neverending Vote

2008-11-03T00:52:24Z

Election day in Denver in 2006 saw lines late into the night, and an uncountable number simply walking away from the polls. A lot of things have been changed to try and address that, including going back to systems less dependent on computerized systems. And it's estimated that 35% of Coloradans have already voted by mail or early vote.

But the ballot in Colorado is long this year. Seriously long. It took me about 45 minutes to vote it, and I skipped the judges. I don't know how many minutes election officials here figured people would need when they decided how many voting booths needed to be where. I'm guessing it wasn't 45.

The rumor is this is the longest ballot in the country. We'll be keeping an eye on things on election day to see how the system handles such a ginourmous ballot. Tune in to theuptake.org.

Despite polls that show Barack Obama ahead, one McCain stratagist sees a scenerio that will give victory to John McCain. Lewis Oliver is the Chairman of McCain's campaign in Central Florida. He says little things such as Palin on Saturday Night Live and gaffs by Joe Biden have given McCain momentum and undecideds will break towards the candidate who looks like he is going to win.

Will Racism Have an Impact at the Polls? - John Zogby

2008-11-04T12:44:51Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Pollster John Zogby discusses Barack Obama and the impact of race on the 2008 U.S. Presidential election.

-----

As we enter the final months before the historic 2008 presidential election, how has the American character and our attitude towards politics and foreign policy changed?

According to pollster John Zogby, the conventional wisdom about Americans -- that we're isolated from the world, politically fragmented, and inclined toward material pleasure -- isn't just flawed, it may be 180 degrees from the truth.

Drawing on thousands of in-depth surveys, he reveals a new and developing American character, including the emergence of the most globally oriented generation in our history.

Join the Council for a conversation with John Zogby as he helps us to understand where we are headed politically, culturally and globally, as well as how this new direction is shaping the politics behind both presidential campaigns - World Affairs Council of Northern California

John Zogby is President and Chief Executive Officer of Zogby International, a leading public opinion and market research firm. Mr. Zogby routinely conducts polls on health care reform and global health efforts. Among his accomplishments, he is widely recognized for correctly predicting the cliffhanger result of the 2000 presidential election for George W. Bush, in contrast to most other pollsters who had projected that Bush would win easily. Mr. Zogby established his firm in 1984 and since then has been tracking public opinion in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. He has written guest editorials for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, among other major newspapers, and he is the author of a forthcoming portrait of the new American consumer, which will be published by Random House this fall. Mr. Zogby holds degrees in history from Le Moyne College and Syracuse University.
