WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING, Minnesota does exceptionally well. Often, including in 2016, the state has the highest voter turnout in the nation for presidential contests. That’s partly thanks to the fact EDITORIAL & ADVERTISING that, back in 1974, when alumnus Wendell Anderson (B.A. ’54, J.D. President and CEO ’60) was governor, Minnesota was ahead of the pack in adopting Lisa Lewis Election Day voter registration. The law was supported by former Editor Secretary of State Joan Growe, who also attended the U, while Jennifer Vogel she was a state legislator. Senior Editor Minnesota is a good government state—with problems, Elizabeth Foy Larsen certainly, including dramatic racial disparities—where residents take civic engagement Copy Editor seriously and evince confidence in elected officials. Minnesotans are dutiful. We read a Susan Maas lot. We attend forums and call in to radio shows. And we are educated, with 35 percent Contributing Writers Jodi Auvin of adult residents holding bachelor’s degrees or higher. Tim Brady The University of Minnesota, by equipping and inspiring people to participate in pub- Taiyon J. Coleman lic life, owns a big part of Minnesota’s enviable reputation. The U has a habit of making Lynette Lamb good citizens and turning out political big deals who put their stamps on the culture, Susan Maas from Hubert H. Humphrey (B.A. ’39) to Walter Mondale (B.A. ’51, J.D. ’56) to Eugene Britt Robson Julie Schumacher McCarthy (M.A. ’39) to Harold Stassen (B.L. ’27, J.D. ’29). In fact, at present, there are Chris Smith 52 alumni serving in the Minnsesota Legislature—of various political stripes, religious Emily Sohn backgrounds, races, and genders—comprising a quarter of all lawmakers. Jim Walsh When we vote, we are stating our collective will. Yes, it’s hard to imagine a collective Art Director will at the moment, since society feels more divided than most of us can remember. But Kristi Anderson when we vote we are expressing confidence that each of us matters, even if by dint of Two Spruce Design addition. And so, despite attempts to undermine the elections process by nefarious Senior Director of Marketing actors, domestic and foreign, and despite schemes to make us believe our votes in fact Lisa Huber don’t count, we will line up at the polls this November to fill in the ovals. As always, the Advertising stakes will be high. As always, we will—gleefully or glumly—accept the results.

    U.S. Geological Survey and The National Academies; USGS OF-2007-1047, Short Research Paper 107; doi:10.3133/of2007-1047.srp107 Review of the geology and paleontology of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica G.F. Webers¹ and J.F. Splettstoesser² ¹Department of Geology, Macalester College, St. Paul, MN 55108, USA ([email protected]) ²P.O. Box 515, Waconia, MN 55387, USA ([email protected]) Abstract The geology of the Ellsworth Mountains has become known in detail only within the past 40-45 years, and the wealth of paleontologic information within the past 25 years. The mountains are an anomaly, structurally speaking, occurring at right angles to the Transantarctic Mountains, implying a crustal plate rotation to reach the present location. Paleontologic affinities with other parts of Gondwanaland are evident, with nearly 150 fossil species ranging in age from Early Cambrian to Permian, with the majority from the Heritage Range. Trilobites and mollusks comprise most of the fauna discovered and identified, including many new genera and species. A Glossopteris flora of Permian age provides a comparison with other Gondwana floras of similar age. The quartzitic rocks that form much of the Sentinel Range have been sculpted by glacial erosion into spectacular alpine topography, resulting in eight of the highest peaks in Antarctica.

  • Fact Sheet: Designation of Election Infrastructure As Critical Infrastructure
    Fact Sheet: Designation of Election Infrastructure as Critical Infrastructure Consistent with Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21, the Secretary of Homeland Security has established Election Infrastructure as a critical infrastructure subsector within the Government Facilities Sector. Election infrastructure includes a diverse set of assets, systems, and networks critical to the administration of the election process. When we use the term “election infrastrucure,” we mean the key parts of the assets, systems, and networks most critical to the security and resilience of the election process, both physical locations and information and communication technology. Specficially, we mean at least the information, capabilities, physical assets, and technologies which enable the registration and validation of voters; the casting, transmission, tabulation, and reporting of votes; and the certification, auditing, and verification of elections. Components of election infrastructure include, but are not limited to: • Physical locations: o Storage facilities, which may be located on public or private property that may be used to store election and voting system infrastructure before Election Day. o Polling places (including early voting locations), which may be physically located on public or private property, and may face physical and cyber threats to their normal operations on Election Day. o Centralized vote tabulation locations, which are used by some states and localities to process absentee and Election Day voting materials. • Information

  • Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State
    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State July 28, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Senator Charles E. Schumer Senator Richard C. Shelby Senator Patrick J. Leahy Senator Roy Blunt Senator Amy Klobuchar Dear Senators: As Secretaries of State of both major political parties who oversee the election systems of our respective states, we write in strong support of additional federal funding to enable the smooth and safe administration of elections in 2020. The stakes are high. And time is short. The COVID-19 pandemic is testing our democracy. A number of states have faced challenges during recent primary elections. Local administrators were sometimes overwhelmed by logistical problems such as huge volumes of last-minute absentee ballot applications, unexpected shortages of poll workers, and difficulty of procuring and distributing supplies. As we anticipate significantly higher voter turnout in the November General Election, we believe those kinds of problems could be even larger. The challenge we face is to ensure that voters and our election workers can safely participate in the election process. While none of us knows what the world will look like on November 3rd, the most responsible posture is to hope for the best and plan for the worst. The plans in each of our states depend on adequate resources. While we are truly grateful for the resources that Congress made available in the CARES Act for election administration, more funding is critical. Current funding levels help to offset, but do not cover, the unexpectedly high costs that state and local governments face in trying to administer safe and secure elections this year.

  • The Glacial World According to Wally
    THE GLACIAL WORLD ACCORDING TO WALLY W.S. BROECKER ELDIGO PRESS 2002 THE GLACIAL WORLD ACCORDING TO WALLY W.S. BROECKER LAMONT-DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Palisades, NY 10964 September 1992 Second Revised Edition June 1995 Third Revised Edition August 2002 FOREWORD In 1990 I started a book on glacial climates. I planned four sections, one on indicators, one on clocks, one on records and finally, one on the physics of the system. After completing the first three of these, I got stuck in my attempt to come up with a conceptual view of what might be driving these changes. However, having taught a course on climate change for many years, I know that much of the information one needs is not available in textbook form. Instead, we all depend heavily on reprints. As this proves to be an inefficient route for students interested in learning the basics of our field, I have tried to capture many of these basics in the first three sections of my would-be book. As I realized that it would be several years before I completed this project, I thought it might be useful to the community if I were to make available the three largely completed sections. This was done in 1992. In preparation for use in a short course to be taught at the Geological Society of America in November 2002, I undertook an effort to update the first three sections and the references during the early part of 2002. I encourage purchasers of the book to make as many copies as they wish for use by students and colleagues.

The debate typically centers on policies that seek to affect the accessibility of voting. Election Day Registration (EDR) is one voting policy being discussed. Allowing voters to register on Election Day is a policy currently used in eleven states and the District of Columbia, and states with EDR rank highest in the nation’s voter turnout rates.
