Technology gives citizens the tools to achieve greater election transparency without relying on public officials or the news media.
One such tool is our Election Incidents Hotsheet. The Hotsheet is a Web "bullhorn" for citizens, giving them an outlet to report local election irregularities directly to other members of the public.
A working model is at http://ballot-integrity.org/sample/ Feel free to give it a try.
Our group is offering to clone the Hotsheet for a limited number of other good-government groups, at no cost.
We make this offer because we feel a Hotsheet is an essential tool for election integrity, and because the effort required of us is virtually nil.
Here's the agreement:
Our group--
o Creates a Hotsheet customized for your group and your locale (your county, city, or other jurisdiction).
o Manages and hosts the Hotsheet software (unless you request some or all of those responsibilities).
o Provides you with sample press releases.
o Provides these and all other reasonable services at no cost (although donations would not be refused after the election).
Your group--
o Sends us the data needed to customize the Hotsheet.
o Handles all promotion and publicity for your Hotsheet.
o Replies to Hotsheet reports in cases where local knowledge is required.
You'll find the Hotsheet is simple to operate, for user and moderators alike.
o It's simple for users.
* To submit a report, the user clicks on Post, enters the report, then clicks Post Comment.
* To read the reports, the user clicks on Read... then scrolls through the reports.
o It's simple for moderators.
* To reply to a report, the moderator clicks on Post, enters the reply, then clicks Post Comment.
* All other required tasks are performed by IBIP.
Questions or comments? We'll be pleased to hear from you. |
