That has not happened very often in the four years that I have been doing this work. So I guess I will take this opportunity to remind you all that we do this work thanks to the support of the election integrity community. We are a project of International Humanities Center so any donations to us are tax-deductible. We also have a few copies of &#8220;Runoff&#8221;\u009d by Mark Coggins that are still available. &#8220;Runoff&#8221;\u009d is a fun mystery novel sure to keep you reading and there are more than a few laughs as you do so. What is really fun for those of us in elections is that the mystery is centered around a hack of an election in San Francisco. We will happily send you a copy, signed by the author, for a $50 donation. Visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votersunite.org\/donate.asp \">donations web page<\/a> and give to help us continue to do our work.
