    Millions to the Polls PRACTICAL POLICIES TO FULFILL THE FREEDOM TO VOTE FOR ALL AMERICANS PROVISIONAL BALLOTING j. mijin cha & liz kennedy PROVISIONAL BALLOTING • Provisional ballots are not counted as regular ballots and should be used in only very limited situations. • Provisional ballots cast solely because an eligible voter voted in the wrong precinct or polling place should be counted as a regular ballot for any office for which the voter was eligible to vote. • Adopting Same Day Registration would substantially decrease the need for provisional ballots because eligible voters can simply re-register if there are registration issues. he scenario occurs regularly on Election Day: a voter will show up at the polling place only to find that his or her name is not on the voting rolls. Sometimes an incomplete registration form is to blame. Other times, people have moved since registering and Tmay show up at the wrong polling place. But in many cases, processing errors by election administrators, overly aggressive purging procedures, or other mistakes outside of the voter’s control result in the voter being mistakenly left off the voting rolls. Under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), voters whose names cannot be found on the voter rolls on Election Day or whose eligibility is challenged must be provided a provisional ballot.1 These provisional votes are subsequently counted if local election officials are able to verify, by a set deadline, that the individual is a legitimate voter under state law.2 The Presidential Commission on Election Administra- tion found that “high rates of provisional balloting can .

  • Honours Project
    Honours Project Title: Changing Representation of Introversion in 21st century American Teen Movies Course Instructor: Dr. Yu Kwan Wai, Eric Name: Chak Choi Yan SID: Date of submission: 30/4/2020 0 “We live with a value system that I call the Extrovert Ideal – the omni-present believe that the ideal self is gregarious, alpha, and comfortable in the spotlight (Cain, 2013, pp.4)” Introduction The studies of introversion and extroversion There is no exact definition of introversion and extroversion. As a matter of fact, the word “introversion” did not carry a psychological meaning of the tendency of “withdrawing from the world” until psychologist Carl Jung defines this term in 1912 (Online Etymology Dictionary, 2020). He defines that transference (which he later referred as extroversion) and introversion as the two basic mechanisms in psychoses and introversion is defined as a way for people to detach themselves from the reality (Jung, 1912). Since then, psychologists have debated about the definitions of the two terms and how the two mechanisms influence people in the ways they think. Jung defines that introverts are individuals whose objective world declines and that they themselves are the center of their interests (Jung & Schmid-Guisan, 2015). On the contrary, extroverts are those who contribute their interests to the outer world and attributes importance to it. Jung (1921) also proposes that the two types are on a spectrum and there are no pure introverts or pure extroverts. In other words, one can be more introverted and less extroverted. Introverts are considered reserved and quiet in social situations (Rothmann & Coetzer, 2003).

If not, you will see an error message. • Call the Elections Office—you will have to break the Red Sticker Seal on the front door of the black ballot box. • Release the Scanner and then tilt it up so that the voter can see the underside of the machine. Do not look at or touch the ballot unless the voter asks you to do so. • Ask the voter to carefully remove the ballot from the bottom of the Scanner, using both hands. • If the ballot was not counted, ask the voter to check for any rips or tears on the ballot. If there are none, then the voter may re-scan the ballot. • If the ballot is damaged beyond repair, spoil that ballot and re-issue the voter a new ballot.

  • Diagnosis Nabj: a Preliminary Study of a Post-Civil Rights Organization
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository DIAGNOSIS NABJ: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF A POST-CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION BY LETRELL DESHAN CRITTENDEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John Nerone, Chair Associate Professor Christopher Benson Associate Professor William Berry Associate Professor Clarence Lang, University of Kansas ABSTRACT This critical study interrogates the history of the National Association of Black Journalists, the nation’s oldest and largest advocacy organization for reporters of color. Founded in 1975, NABJ represents the quintessential post-Civil Rights organization, in that it was established following the end of the struggle for freedom rights. This piece argues that NABJ, like many other advocacy organizations, has succumbed to incorporation. Once a fierce critic of institutional racism inside and outside the newsroom, NABJ has slowly narrowed its advocacy focus to the issue of newsroom diversity. In doing so, NABJ, this piece argues, has rendered itself useless to the larger black public sphere, serving only the needs of middle-class African Americans seeking jobs within the mainstream press. Moreover, as the organization has aged, NABJ has taken an increasing amount of money from the very news organizations it seeks to critique. Additionally, this study introduces a specific method of inquiry known as diagnostic journalism. Inspired in part by the television show, House MD, diagnostic journalism emphasizes historiography, participant observation and autoethnography in lieu of interviewing.
