Re: [ALSC-Forum] How to distract the At-large

[James Love]

I would like to follow up with Danny's point.  Suppose we accepted
"organizations" in the at large, and one important funciton was to manage
their internal voter registration verification, and provide a mail verified
residential address, plus an email address.  We could reject organizations
was committed fraud.  If someone was a member of more than one group (most
of us are), the address could be used to eliminate dups.  This would be a
distributed approach to some of the at large functions.
