Testimony from Carter / Baker Commission Hearings
The webcast from Rice University yesterday was excellent and most informative.
The individual testimony can be found here: http://www.american.edu/ia/cfer/hearings.htm
The emphasis on getting voters better information on polling places, and better registration processing is instructive. Far more votes were lost to this cause than any other in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Creating a mature voter registration system remains a challenge in today's highly mobile world. Possiblity of using OASIS ebXML Registry technology, along with OASIS EML voter registration records is of interest.
