From Teresa Hommel:

Move-On online survey to set priorities
Two points to remember:

----All topics are important, but none of them matter if electronic voting systems are facilitating and concealing tampering.
----All topics have major organizational support already EXCEPT opposition to e-voting altogether because it will never be handled securely, and the demand for voter-verified printouts and use of them for auditing elections.
