President-select George W. Bush...

If W. wins this election, then he will have only been elected for one term, since, according to Diane Kuschel - he was selected and not elected in 2000. This being the case, I will vote for a Bush 2nd elected term in 2008

[snooker]

A serious question ...

What are these people going to do when they loose in November?

[cvq3842]

Good one! Usually I don't even read beyond that phrase in an article.

We saw him stutter and sputter over legitimate questions as to mistakes he made during his reign. Let’s see him answer why he can’t affect record prices at the pump for the American people now, instead of for himself later simply to win an election.

Dear Diane,

The Government of Mali has a better understanding of the US economy than you do. Would you care for some Pepto?

Bush has a secret deal with the Saudis

If it's secret, then how does everybody know about it?

Dear Mz. Kuschel,

thank you so very much for your profound words concerning our President and his Administration. They way in which you presented the facts left me with a clear understanding that the current administration is evil and that we should bring the President before a War Crimes Tribunal post haste. Seldom have so few words had such a lasting influence upon my preconceived notions.

Again, thank you for the enlightenment.

Respectfully,

AAE

lying to the public about who is responsible for 9/11 -

These people don't even know what the talking points are any more.

So. If it wasn't AQ, who was it??

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

I don't understand the "most secretive administration in history" thing. The charge is always leveled by people who claim to know absolutely everything about it.

Is there a list of presidential administrations ordered by "Secretiveness"? Which were the 10 least secretive administrations in US history? Was Millard Fillmore just a big blabbermouth or something?

[The kings dead]

George W. Bush’s administration has been correctly identified as one of the most secretive in U.S. history. He has rolled back civil rights, taken us to war unnecessarily - lying to the public about who is responsible for 9/11 - and taken citizens on a frightening course of destruction the major media refuse to explore.

He rolled back civil rights, took us to war, and took us on a frightening course of destruction ... secretively?? You'd think those would be hard secrets to keep.

[lilylangtree]

What rock has this Diane been hiding under? She never read the Saudi ambassador denial of allegations of oil price intereference. She never read that demoncRATS Carter and Clinton are the real culprits because they specifically requested the Saudis to interefere. She never read that the demoncRATS and communist al bore attempted to steal the 2000 election. Diane Schmiane is an idiot suffering from serious oxygen deprivation to the brain cells.

[Young Rhino]

She is using tax dollars to mobilize the Dimwits against Bush...someone should stop this b*tch.

University lands 1-year contract
to train Missouri poll workers


Mary Leuci and Diane Kuschel have one year to orchestrate the training of an army. By early November 2004, they have to be ready for E Day - Election Day - when 20,000 poll workers must be mobilized and prepared to face millions of Missouri voters.

University of Missouri Outreach and Extension Community Development Program recently received a 12-month, $730,000 contract to train poll workers statewide under the federal Help Americans Vote Act, or HAVA.

"We are going to be drawing on the entire breadth of the university to do this," said Leuci, Community Development director. "We have people who are experienced in education including adult learning, and people who are experts in developing curricula. We have a lot of resources we can tap into."

Kuschel, who will coordinate the effort, envisions collaboration among faculty at all four UM campuses as well as university media specialists and extension personnel across Missouri. "Part of my responsibility is to gather faculty, technical support and other experts and direct the teams in development of training modules and evaluation," she said.

They'll need a lot of help to meet the federal requirements under the act. One is civil rights education for poll workers, including sensitivity training to assist voters with special needs, and "basic customer service techniques," Leuci said. "These poll workers will have to deal with more people in one day's time than most service employees ever do."

Betsy Byers is co-director of elections for the Missouri Secretary of State's Office, which oversees statewide elections in Missouri. "I can't think of anything in the election process more important than poll-worker training," she said. "They are the people who deal with the voters personally, and we rely on them to make sure elections go smoothly."

In the wake of Florida's electoral chaos in 2000, Congress has emphasized strict accounting and ballot security procedures, Leuci said. Also, some polling places might be switching to new technologies such as optical scanners or touch-screen voting, with which even many longtime poll workers are unfamiliar.

Poll workers' average age is about 70, Byers noted. "That's a generation of people that doesn't have a lot of computer skills. Some of them have never sat down at a computer. Even if they won't actually be working at computers, they'll need some skills for some of that technology."

Leuci noted that poll workers often toil for 14 hours or longer on Election Day. "There are a lot of complex ballots - sometimes dozens of different ballots in the same county." Poll workers of both major parties must be present at each polling place, she said. "That can make it very complicated."

Byers agreed. "They're under a lot of stress," she said, "and if their training makes them more comfortable with the system, they'll be able to handle it a lot better."

The project could have a positive impact on Missouri voting far beyond the 2004 election, Leuci said. "We want to develop a training package that can be used year after year, with some updating.

"As part of a land-grant university, we in extension have a focus on community decision-making and governance," she said. "What we hope is that we raise awareness and have people wanting to do this as a way to contribute to their country and locally. This is one of the most exciting projects I've had a chance to be involved in."

In reference to the last link...it is pretty sad that Woodward is such a liar that someone writes a whole book about it!

[RGSpincich]

This mentally unstable person is training poll workers? Oh boy. The avoidance of the appearance of impropriety only applies to Republicans, I guess.
