[ale] OT: Town hall meeting this Thursday re Diebold voting machines

[aaron]

A side note that the EFGA group is helping insure there are security and issue 
knowledgable people in attendance at this meeting. 

If anyone is interested, we are holding a coordinating meeting for the event 
this evening, Tuesday, 1/27, 7:30p-9:00p, at the Caribou Coffee on  the 
corner of Lavista Road and North Druid Hills road. (That's just about 2 stop 
lights from the I-85 exit for Clairmont [south] and a couple miles North East 
of the Emory campus.)

This is likely to be much more of an open discussion and much less of a rubber 
stamp promotion than the self interested Kennisaw State presentations. 
(Kennisaw State has the contract for security and POP testing on the Diebold 
systems.)

Hope to see some of y'all tonight and even more on Thursday!

peace
aaron
