John Gideon, R.I.P.-- And the "Gideon Initiative" for Citizenship Ownership of Our Elections
Rob Richie The Huffington Post Apr 29 2009Voters Unite's John Gideon, the indefatigable chronicler of problems with election administration, for nearly six years produced the Daily Voting News. Last night John died at age 62. Brad Friedman has a moving tribute to him on Bradblog. You can also see John's work by visiting the archive of Daily Voting News.
John shared one of my beliefs -- that citizens should control of our elections. As a tribute, perhaps those believing in that goal can join together in the "Gideon initiative."
