LWV CVA Sunday Seminar

“Election Integrity”

Sunday, October 20, 2019

2 to 4 pm at CitySpace on the

Downtown Mall Doors open at 2 pm for “Meet and Greet” Program begins at 2:30 pm

Our democratic system depends on voters’ faith in the integrity of election processes and election outcomes. In order to ensure free and fair election results, transparency, security, and accountability are needed. From the U.S. Constitution (voting age, accessibility, individual state laws and authority over the election process) to the publishing of voting outcomes for federal, state, and local elections, citizens deserve to know that the U.S. election infrastructure reflects accuracy of the vote.

The League of Women Voters of the Charlottesville Area will hold a Sunday Seminar on “Election Integrity” at CitySpace on October 20, 2019, from 2 – 4 pm. We believe that the foundation of a fair election system should strictly follow election laws and the nonpartisan administration of election rules and procedure for electing public officials for federal, state, or local governments. But in the last few years, we have become aware of attempts by outside governments, such as China, Russia, and Iran, to hack our election systems and undermine the credibility of our election processes. Although U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that actual votes were not altered by these attempts in 2016 and 2018, it was found that foreign actors continue to use social media to mislead and spread false information to attempt to influence voters. This ambiguity of information, especially in the cyber field, has complicated the decision making of the individual voter. Continued on next page

LWV Sunday Seminar: October 20 Continued from previous page

The League of Women Voters of the Charlottesville Area continues to place a high priority on disseminating information and providing citizen education on the issues and candidates. At the present time, the state and national LWV have studies underway that examine risks and vulnerabilities in our election system; work is being coordinated with others, especially the many people who participate in making our voting systems accurate, to mitigate or resolve what is identified as vulnerabilities.

The objectives of the LWV CVA Sunday Seminar on October 20 are:

 To provide an overview of existing election system vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could compromise the integrity of an election.

 To outline key national and state initiatives underway to address these vulnerabilities.

 To inform individual citizens on steps they can take to help ensure their votes are counted.

We are delighted to have as our main speaker, Christopher E. “Chris” Piper, Commissioner, Department of Elections. Jake Washburn, registrar for Albemarle County will be on hand to answer audience questions related to local issues.

Join us on Sunday, October 20, 2019, at CitySpace, Charlottesville Downtown Mall (parking in the adjacent Market Street parking garage). Doors open at 2 pm; program begins promptly at 2:30 pm. All League seminars are open to the public. We are hoping that in addition to area registrars, faculty/students at PVCC, University of Virginia schools and centers, and other organizations will join in this information and discussion on election integrity.

The seminar is being coordinated by LWV-CVA members Shirley Payne, Carol Cutler and Lisa Hilgartner. For further information about this seminar, please contact Pat Cochran, LWV CVA president: [email protected]

LWV VA Fall Workshops by Rosalie Simari, LWV CVA Membership Co-chair

On Saturday, September 14, Kerin Yates, Sue Lewis, Frances Schutz, Bobbie Williams and I attended the LWV VA Fall Workshops in Fredericksburg. It was also attended by about 70 other League leaders from around the state.

We heard Alicia Gurrieri from LWVUS on GOTV-VOTE411 (Get Out The Vote): The new VOTE411.org website. Check it out: https://www.vote411.org/

Ron Brown from the U.S. Census Bureau reviewed the reasons why this every decade undertaking is so important and told us how our leagues can help. The goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place. (College students should be counted at college.) All the workers will be provided tablets and smart phones and trained online. There will be three ways people can send information. New this year will be online forms. There will also be toll-free over the phone and mail forms. Where IT is not available, census workers will knock on doors and cover any place that individuals are living. The Bureau is recruiting thousands of people for a variety of temporary jobs. Check their website: https://2020census.gov/en/jobs

Next, we heard that the League is working on a nationwide campaign on redistricting. In Virginia SJ306 was passed in the last legislative session, to establish a state commission to do the redistricting maps. It must be passed again by both houses in 2020 and then voted on by the people. LWVUS is urging us to ask our candidates to support this bill.

Erica Sims of Housing Virginia (www.housingvirginia.org) spoke to us about the state initiative on affordable housing. One of her slides showed a small development of affordable housing built by Habitat for Humanity in Charlottesville.

Mary Crutchfield from the LWV-VA Legislative Team told us about LWV-VA Legislative Priorities for Advocacy/Action for the 2020 Session. “As Leaguers what is our charge? EMPOWERING VOTERS / DEFENDING DEMOCRACY! How do we do this? By educating, advocating on issues, and lobbying on specific legislation using our LWV-VA or LWV-US Positions, which we arrive at by consensus after doing studies.” As of Sept 13, 2019, the priorities are: Voting Rights, Election & Voter Protection; Redistricting: Support of the Constitutional Amendment Resolution passage in 2020; Gun Violence Prevention/Safety; Women’s Rights; Sexual Harassment; Education; Justice and Juvenile Justice; Immigration; Census; and Environment.

Carol Noggle told us about the Virginia General Assembly Legislative Information System (LIS). LIS online is an important new tool for citizen advocacy. The online site is “Your Friend for Advocacy”. Be informed. You can check on your legislator, bills filed, the fiscal impact of each bill, the bill’s status, and schedule of hearings of bills. See your legislators’ committee assignments and appointments, his/her meeting schedule. watch and listen to their presentations and speeches, etc. You can access LIS at our website: go to lwv-cva.org, click on the drop-down menu, Explore the League, then open Legislative Information and finally click on the website for LIS.

There are also many exciting upcoming events that we learned about, including the dedication of “Voices in the Garden” Memorial on October 14, 2019, Capitol Square, Richmond, 11 am.

LWV CVA Natural Resources Committee Report – September 26 Meeting By Muriel Grim, LWV CVA Natural Resources Director

In considering, for candidate forums, a question with statewide significance we discussed several statewide environmental issues including the conflict between the governor and the general assembly over whether Virginia would join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The RGGI is essentially a cap and trade project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through joint action of neighboring states. This year the General Assembly prevented Virginia from joining the initiative.

We decided to submit the following question that allows the candidate to discuss all or some of the issues and problems we compiled: “Virginia is facing many environmental issues, among them are problems associated with increasing groundwater withdrawal, the need to reduce greenhouse gases and to rapidly convert from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the fact that the Department of Environmental Quality does not have enough staff or funding to adequately carry out its mission, tree cover in new developments, and management of storm water runoff. What changes to laws, regulations, and state funding, especially DEQ funding, would you support to address Virginia’s environmental problems?”

We discussed climate change being the overarching topic to be included in our proposed NRC Program changes. We will continue thinking about potential updates and make a final decision about the changes at our October meeting.

We will discuss the already compiled list of our suggestions for environment related questions for local candidate forums using email. We hope to have the list finalized by next week.

There was continued discussion about the value of observing official meetings and of wearing League buttons while acting as observers. Acting as a watchdog for the public promotes transparency and oversight. The importance of this was highlighted by the recent scandal in Front Royal where the former executive director of the Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority was indicted in May on felony embezzlement charges related to millions of dollars in missing and misspent money. Fourteen current and former local government officials, within the last few days, have been charged with misdemeanor misfeasance and nonfeasance because of their inaction on the director’s activities. Citizen awareness as exemplified by the League Observer Corps performs an important service in support of good government.

The next meeting of the LWV CVA Natural Resources Committee is Thursday, October 24, at 2:30 pm at University Village (small conference room), 500 Crestwood Drive. For further information about this committee, contact Muriel Grim, [email protected]

Finding Justice Reform at Georgia’s House By Kit Murphy McNally, chair, LWV CVA Justice Reform Committee

A September morning spent at Georgia’s House in downtown Charlottesville underscored the LWV CVA Justice Reform Committee’s support for diversions and alternatives to prosecution for many nonviolent women whose drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues compound their problems once entangled in the criminal justice system.

Georgia’s House is a therapeutic community located in a beautifully maintained remnant of Charlottesville’s past. Since 2015 Georgia’s House has proved a unique, safe and successful alternative to incarceration for up to 12 women in conflict with the law. Women may stay for a few months or up to two years.

Justice Reform Committee member Dorothy Tomkins founded Georgia’s House, understanding the trauma addiction wrecks on the lives of women regardless of race, class or background. The justice system, which grew severely more punitive in the 1970’s with the launch of the War on Drugs, rapidly filled prisons and spawned the advent of for-profit prisons. Increasingly women became caught up in the sweep though they might be a danger primarily to themselves due to their addictions or illness.

When prosecutors and judges grant women the opportunity to live at and maintain the residence, the women are able to achieve sobriety, engage in education and training, and find employment in the community. Ultimately they move on to promising independent lives, Tomkins says.

To be accepted for the program, women must be at least 18. Currently the age range is 23 to 64. One current participant was facing up to 5 years in prison, Tomkins said. If women fail to comply with the requirements of Georgia’s House, they may be ordered back to incarceration.

“Lack of housing, unemployment, poor physical health, untreated mental illness, financial ruin, broken relationships, and low self-worth/self-esteem are several of the common adverse conditions that afflict women suffering from addiction, which also impacts the many children, friends, family and future generations of our resident,” explains information available to prosecutors and judges considering sentencing in local courts.

Tomkins noted it costs $50 per day for women to rebuild their futures and contribute to the community at Georgia’s House versus $90 per day taxpayer support for a lengthy stay in jail that impedes recovery and lifestyle changes in the community. The women themselves pay $100 per month to live and participate in Georgia’s House.

Because Georgia’s House is downtown, women can walk to jobs and other services like “Network to Work” and Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR). Currently there is no official followup with women who have been in the program, but Tomkins says an alumni association is one goal for the future. Continued on next page

Finding Justice Reform at Georgia’s House Continued from previous page

The LWV CVA Justice Reform Committee’s visit to Georgia’s House is part of their quest to identify sound alternatives to incarceration for women in Virginia and the extent to which Virginia law supports diversion, deferred prosecution, and alternative sentencing, as well as the perspective of local prosecutors who wield great power in determining sentencing recommendations to the court.

To learn more about Georgia’s House, contact Mary Anne Grant, Executive Director, 414-284-7817.

To learn where Albemarle County prosecutor candidates stand on smart sentencing attend the: LWV of the Charlottesville Area Forum for Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney Candidates at the Albemarle County Office Building, 401 McIntire Rd., Lane Auditorium October 17, 2019, 7 – 9 pm.
