What Carol is saying is absolutely correct. Richard Pettys, Bettie Wood and myself were removed from the EC list back in early February because we are all three GA. CC's. Also our Elections-L list is absolutely private and we cannot communicate what goes on there with anyone other than ourselves. In this case, those still actively working on the EC list are not communicating with Richard, Bettie and myself regarding the GAGenWeb project. The individual votes go thru Larry's server and he is the only one who will know and I also have faith and trust in him. I have worked as an elected township clerk and election administrator for 17 years now and MI has *very* strict election laws and believes fully in the privacy of the ballot. Many of the national voting laws have been patterned after MI, so if I feel safe with Larry, you should too. So, please feel feel to vote your conscience. No, one, not even when we go back on the EC list will know how you voted.
