AdemoAccording to my conversation with him today, Ademo has eaten and has cooperated to the point where he has been allowed into population in the Cheshire county jail. Now he will be able to reach other prisoners with the message of liberty over the next two months of his incarceration and also will be able to make phone calls and receive visitors. Details on visitation are here. If you aren’t in the area, be sure to send him mail via mail-to-jail!

Activists are continuing efforts to get him out sooner rather than later. You may want to check out the Free Ademo group on Facebook for the latest.

Will NH adopt approval voting?

by | Jan 28, 2011 | 0 comments

Four Republican state representatives have sponsored a bill that would replace first-past-the-post voting with approval voting for all state offices and presidential primaries.

Under this system, voters would select every candidate they approve of (regardless of party), and the candidate with the highest overall vote total wins. This reduces strategic voting, and would often make elections easier for moderate and libertarian candidates.

The bill, HB240, will have a public hearing Tuesday, February 1st, with the House Election Law committee.
