This Voter Information Pamphlet (VIP) is your guide to this important election. As you can see, there are numerous primary candi- dates and ballot measures that require your consideration and selection – which is why this booklet is so full of detailed information. Our primary goal is to provide you with the information you need to make your choices and to participate fully in our society’s democratic processes. We urge you to read the VIP prior to going to the polls, and to do your electoral ‘homework’ in advance of March 5th to enable you to express your preferences for candidates and issues that are vital to San Francisco and to California. We at the Department of Elections also invite each and every one of you to work with us by becoming an Election Officer on Election Day, and/or by offering your property as one of the 660 polling locations throughout our City. While our Department is dedicated to meet and exceed the organizational requirements demanded by every election, we urge you to consider going beyond registering and voting – even though these remain our highest priorities – and join our outstanding Election Day volunteers by working at a precinct in your own neigh- borhood. Election Officers begin at 6:00 a.m. on Election Day, and work until approximately 9:00 p.m. Election Night. More than 3,000 San Franciscans served their City as Election Officers in the elections last November and December, and we are recruiting and training even more for the March 5th Primary. While it is work that requires close attention to detail, it also is highly satisfying to be part of the most precious process in our democracy – the right to participate in the electoral process. The Department of Elections pays for this important civic service, and we would be pleased to discuss specific details with you when you call the Precinct Services division at 415/554-4375, or visit us in person at Room 48 at City Hall. You also can access informa- tion on our web site at www.sfgov.org/election. If you bring along other family members, neighbors, school mates, or friends who may serve with you in a favorite association, you not only will enjoy Election Day with people you know and like but also will earn funds for your association. Please join us and serve our City! Because San Francisco has improved its elections technology, we now employ an optical scanning voting system called the Eagle. Please remember these tips about the Eagle technology: If you make a mistake while marking your ballot, please ask an Election Officer for a new ballot. The Eagle technology may misread a ballot where a voter has tried to correct an error. Your polling place has extra ballots in case you make a mistake and need another ballot. Your vote is private and secret. At the poll, you will receive your ballot in a folder designed for secrecy. Election Officers will be available to instruct you on how to use the folder to protect the privacy of your vote. The Department of Elections also provides absentee ballots that enable you to vote in the privacy of your own home. Absentee bal- lots may be obtained either by completing the request form found on the back of this VIP, or by writing to us at the address shown on this letterhead. This request must include your name, address and signature. An absentee ballot will be mailed to you, and if you select the Permanent Absentee Voter designation, you will receive absentee ballots for this and all future elections. Complete the absentee ballot and return it to the Department of Elections or at your local precinct before 8 p.m. on March 5, 2002. Remember, only one ballot may be mailed in the return envelope. Hand-delivered ballots will only be accepted if delivered by you, your spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, or a person residing in your household. The Department of Elections works very hard to protect the relationship of trust we have established with the voters of San Francisco. Our mission is to provide you with an electoral process that is fair, accurate and completely open to public scrutiny and public partici- pation. We are committed to earning, and sustaining, your confidence and your support in each and every election. Please call 415/554-4375 if you have any questions or comments, and feel free to contact us in person or via the web. We welcome your constructive suggestions at any time. Most importantly, however, please register and vote – and please sign up to work at a poll on Election Day. We need you as a decision-maker to shape our City’s, and our children’s futures.

    Gays in the Cen­ Tral City and in the Polk Area

    OCTOBER 1, 1980 S 'ali 5 fraiiri‘H*n Issue 107 (Eruaaììpr 'A iLiiilit nt' llm'ìrrtìlauììimji tor All 5frr r Police!”.....■»« ^1 ir> ^ ikirx r* n I /%iiu^ \y^i "POLICE? IN THE TENDERLOIN? YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.
  • Governance in Decentralized Networks

    Governance in Decentralized Networks

    Governance in decentralized networks Risto Karjalainen* May 21, 2020 Abstract. Effective, legitimate and transparent governance is paramount for the long-term viability of decentralized networks. If the aim is to design such a governance model, it is useful to be aware of the history of decision making paradigms and the relevant previous research. Towards such ends, this paper is a survey of different governance models, the thinking behind such models, and new tools and structures which are made possible by decentralized blockchain technology. Governance mechanisms in the wider civil society are reviewed, including structures and processes in private and non-profit governance, open-source development, and self-managed organisations. The alternative ways to aggregate preferences, resolve conflicts, and manage resources in the decentralized space are explored, including the possibility of encoding governance rules as automatically executed computer programs where humans or other entities interact via a protocol. Keywords: Blockchain technology, decentralization, decentralized autonomous organizations, distributed ledger technology, governance, peer-to-peer networks, smart contracts. 1. Introduction This paper is a survey of governance models in decentralized networks, and specifically in networks which make use of blockchain technology. There are good reasons why governance in decentralized networks is a topic of considerable interest at present. Some of these reasons are ideological. We live in an era where detailed information about private individuals is being collected and traded, in many cases without the knowledge or consent of the individuals involved. Decentralized technology is seen as a tool which can help protect people against invasions of privacy. Decentralization can also be viewed as a reaction against the overreach by state and industry.

    HB 5404: Study Ranked-Choice Voting in CT, Committee on Government Administration and Elections March 4, 2020 testimony by Celeste Landry, 745 University Ave, Boulder, CO 80302 Bio: I have been researching voting methods since 2012 and have given a variety of Voting Methods presentations including at the 2018 LWVUS convention, the 2019 Free and Equal Electoral Reform Symposium and the 2020 CO Dept of State Alternative Voting Method Stakeholder Group meeting. Four Proposed Amendments: Amendments #1 and #2 below address language in the current text, but Amendments #3 and #4 provide for better and broader resolutions to the bill’s limitations. Issue #1. The description of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in HB5404 is too limited. For instance, the 2018 Maine Congressional District 2 election would NOT fit the definition below: 6 are defeated and until one candidate receives over fifty per cent of the 7 votes cast, and (3) the candidate receiving over fifty per cent of the votes 8 cast is deemed to have been elected to such office. Such study shall Example: The Maine CD2 winner, Jared Golden, did NOT receive over 50% of the votes cast (144,813 out of 289,624). More people preferred Golden’s opponents to Golden. In the last round, Golden received over 50% of the votes if you only count the non-exhausted ballots. The definition of RCV in the bill effectively claims that more than two thousand cast votes were actually not cast! 2018 Maine CD2 election results: https://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/results/results18.html#Nov6 Resolution: The definition should read 6 are defeated and until one candidate receives over fifty per cent of the 7 votes cast on non-exhausted ballots, and (3) the candidate receiving over fifty per cent of the votes 8 cast on non-exhausted ballots is deemed to have been elected to such office.

Hallinanv, Committee of Bar Examiners (Calif. 1966). Terence Hallinan was refused certification for admission to practice law in California by the Committee of Bar Examiners upon a finding that he was not of "good moral character."' The Committee's de- termination was based on Hallinan's beliefs and activities in connec- tion with "civil disobedience" and, in particular, several misdemeanor convictions arising from these activities.2 In addition, Hallinan's past record included several fistfights and other conduct which the Com- mittee held indicated a disregard for the law and a propensity for vio- lence.3 The Committee's decision was made after lengthy hearings I "To be certified to the Supreme Court for admission and a license to practice law, a person ... shall: ...
