THE CONTESTED RIGHT TO VOTE Richard Briffault * THE RIGHT TO VOTE: THE CONTESTED HISTORY OF DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES. By Alexander Keyssar. New York: Basic Books. 2000. Pp. xxiv, 467. $30. I. INTRODUCTION For those who believe the United States is a representative democ- racy with a government elected by the people, the events of late 2000 must have been more than a little disconcerting. In the election for our most important public office - our only truly national office' - the candidate who received the most popular votes was declared the loser while his second place opponent, who had received some 540,000 fewer votes, was the winner.2 This result turned on the outcome in Florida, where approximately 150,000 ballots cast were found not to contain valid votes. Further, due to flaws in ballot design, thousands of other Florida ballots almost certainly failed to reflect the intentions of the voters who cast them.

  • The Narative Below Is My Recollection of HMS Dittany During WW2 As I
    THe narative below is my recollection of HMS Dittany during WW2 As I understand it, the ship was built on the Great Lakes for the American Navy . However it was not launched until October 1943 with the result that it was frozen in over winter and not available, so the Royal Navy lent [? leased] to the American Navy one of our Corvettes. This meant that DITTANY was surplus to the Americans’ requirements so it was then “Lease Lent” to the Royal Navy. The ship’s specifications were HMS Dittany (K 279) Corvette of the Flower (revised.) class Built by: Collingwood Shipyards Ltd. (Collingwood, Ontario, Canada) Ordered: Laid down: Launched: 31 Oct., 1942 Commissioned: ? End service: 20 June 1946 History: Transferred to the Royal Navy under lend-lease.

  • Wargaming the Atlantic War: Captain Gilbert Roberts and the Wrens of the Western Approaches Tactical Unit by Paul Edward Strong
    Validity and Utility of Wargaming, December 10th, 2017 Paper for MORS Wargaming Special Meeting October 2017 - Working Group 2 Wargaming the Atlantic War: Captain Gilbert Roberts and the Wrens of the Western Approaches Tactical Unit by Paul Edward Strong The staff at the Western Approaches Tactical Unit - 22 January 1945. Note the chalk marks, indicating key moves in the wargame, on the tactical floor (Admiralty Official Collection IWM) Abstract The Western Approaches Tactical Unit (WATU) was a Royal Navy analysis team founded in early 1942. Their remit was to study the conduct of convoy operations, to understand how the U-boats operated and to formulate tactics to counter this evolving threat. The unit was made up of experienced naval officers and a number of talented young women from the WRNS. Using conceptual/analytical wargames, WATU developed a range of tactics during the war and disseminated these to over 5,000 Allied officers through a series of lectures and tactical games. Many of these appeared in the Atlantic Convoy Instructions and were used with considerable success by Allied naval forces during the decisive engagements of the Atlantic War. The essay outlines the origins and purpose of the organisation, how the team functioned, the individuals that conducted the wargames, and the series of evolving challenges that it was intended to overcome – focusing on the series of Anti-Submarine Warfare training and analysis wargames conducted by the unit between 1942 and 1943. The article concludes with an overview of some of the numerous lessons that modern defence analysts could draw from the work of the unit and highlights its utility as an exemplar of the use of wargaming as a tool for modern defence analysis.
