Approval Voting Campaign

The Approval Voting work continues unabated. The major task at the moment is splitting off the new Americans for Approval Voting organization. The plan now is to have Citizens for Approval Voting operating as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) educational corporation and also have Americans for Approval Voting operating as a 501(c)(4) political action corporation.

Speaking of political action, I spent the morning at the state capitol in Austin lobbying for Approval Voting and other election reforms. The initial discussions went well and I have reason to believe that the first bill allowing Approval Voting in Texas may be filed in the next few weeks.

Look for the first press releases and other outreach to start going out later this week. While things remain hectic, there is no reason not to stir things up even more.
