My latest special to the Right-leaning Gouverneur Times of Upstate NY details multiple “urgent” warnings that state and federal officials received over the last year from multiple election advocacy groups concerning the dangers and pitfalls of the state’s e-voting pilot program which came crashing down on voters during the recent NY-23 Special Election for the U.S. House.

    Of course, it doesn’t hurt if you can make people understand that election integrity is not about Right or Left, but about the essence of Democracy.
