MY WEB SERIES
VOTING FOR BEGINNERSâ„
My new 10 episode web series, "Voting For Beginners™", can be viewed at votingforbeginners.com. It is my latest contribution to educating voters on how to properly register to vote, cast their ballots and have their votes counted. I believe that the courts and the Senate are failing us in the fight against voter suppression and electoral subversion so the last stop on the democracy train is WE THE PEOPLE.
