Re: [ga] Watching the voting registry

["James Love" <james.love@cptech.org>]

Maybe the leaders of the GA could write up something abut the vote, and tell
people how to register, and post in places where people who might be
interested in voting, could read it......  That would actually expand the
number of people who would vote.  If they want, they could do this in
several languages, and post it in different places.  527 voters doesn't seem
like the universe to me, particularly since many of these are probably
people who have not been active in this list for a long time.
