E-Vote: "Wait and Vote Tomorrow" Messages Earn Secretary of State's Ire

November 5, 2008 By News Report

Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan on Election Day responded to reports of misleading text messages and "robo-calls" from around the state which encourage some voters to "wait and vote tomorrow." The messages, forwarded to the Secretary of State's office by several voters, have been sent to the U.S. Attorney's office for further investigation.

"I have no tolerance for anyone intentionally causing confusion on Election Day. Every eligible Missourian should be able to cast their ballot today, and my office will immediately respond to any reports of misinformation," Carnahan said. "I am working with local election officials around the state to make sure poll workers and voters understand their rights. Anyone attempting to deprive voters of their rights on Election Day will be prosecuted."

Under Missouri law, knowingly providing false information about election procedures for the purpose of preventing any person from going to the polls is a class one election offense.

The Future of the Desktop in Government

Until recently, there was no alternative to the familiar desktop computer, and its expensive upgrades and maintenance requirements. For cash-strapped local governments, the desktop computer is quickly becoming an unsustainable option for future progress. Now, a technology known as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offers an alternative. It can be significantly more affordable than buying individual computers for every employee, and it provides similar capability. This paper shows how VDI is the future of the desktop and is a game-changer for local governments.
