----/ Event Description /-----------------------------------------------


  BayFF Event - Join Us for "E-voting and the Upcoming Election" on 
Tuesday, October 12

Sometimes activism can be fun. Come join EFF at the 111 Minna Gallery 
in downtown San
Francisco to talk about e-voting and the upcoming election, as well as 
share food and drink
and listen to live music by talented local artist Samantha. This event 
is free and open to the
public, so be sure to invite your friends and colleagues!

  WHAT:
  BayFF discussion: "E-voting and the Upcoming Election"

Democracy is government by the people, and the right to vote is 
critical to determining what
each of us wants of our government. Nearly one quarter of American 
voters - more than 35
million people - will exercise that right using electronic voting 
(e-voting) terminals in this
election. Unfortunately, due to equipment that has been hastily 
developed and poorly
tested, your right to vote is in greater jeopardy than ever before. 
There are widespread
reports of voting terminal failures, and growing concern about the 
(in)security of these
machines is fueling fierce debate over how to ensure the integrity of 
our elections. EFF is
working to ensure that votes are verifiable and to train poll workers 
about what to do when
the machines fail. Come listen to our team leaders talk about the 
latest developments,
and share your thoughts on how we can make sure that every vote is 
counted.
