Election Protection Wiki Launched

| | Comments (0)

The Center for Media and Democracy--a nonprofit organization that runs the SourceWatch.org wiki--has announced a new "Election Protection Wiki." The wiki--online at EPWiki.org--is described as "a dynamic new website to help safeguard the fairness and integrity of US elections, using the power of citizen journalism." The wiki aims to collection resources from a variety of different sources and make them available in one place:

"Recent presidential elections were marred by controversies and disputes. Scores of individuals and organizations have been working to investigate and reform US elections, issuing reports and information on topics such as electronic voting machines, voter suppression campaigns and student voting rights. However, this information is spread across many different websites, news sources and databases. The Election Protection Wiki seeks to provide a single web portal for accessing this disparate information. Its information is non-partisan and factual; anyone of any political persuasion will be able to access and use it to protect every American's right to vote."

The Election Protection Wiki has a page for Michigan which it considers to be a state where "the integrity of the election results is most at-risk." The page--which can be edited by anyone who signs up for an account--has a variety of resources on voting rights.
