3-30 MEETING NOTES:
*Must have solid voter validation - clean up the rolls - no deceased, duplicates, etc
*Separate federal from state elections
Vote counting inside the precinct!
*AL GOP must be forced to support recounts & lawsuits - not just collect $$ and do nothing.
* Candidates should not concede night-of, in close races: we should discuss & ID a threshold of either % of votes cast from precincts, or a % of proximity within the race in question.
* mail-ins: theremust be a required minimum threshold that is legitimate.
* mail in transport would need to be pre-determined RE: custody of method for postage. When should they arrive? During voting period? Before? Anything allowedafter?
* Should mail-ins go by postmark date? Arrival at precinct?
* Election officials should face severe punishment if caught cheating - full extent of the law. If no effective laws exist, we must generate/push legislation.
* Eliminate judges saying we have no standing - codify WHO has standing to make calls. This should not reside in a single person or position.
* Is AL a ballot initiative state? Where citizens can collect and force a proposal initiative to appear on the ballot and subsequently, into the law.
* CA in the 70s/80s would send out a pamphlet/booklet to every eligible voter's home, explaining eachProp.
* Props on ballots are a 2 edged sword, potentiallycorruptible.
* PACs - who does the GOP have in their corner? We need to identify each party's backing, no matter how deep.
