This is Paul Gronke posting for the Pew/JEHT Make Voting Work project. I'm wondering if we can start a conversation about how we might leverage our various groups to collect a wider array of information about election administration.
One place to start is to understand what is on the common content. I will have one of my RAs post up that information soon.
It would be nice to know who else is out there and is interested in this group.
It appears that there is no content yet proposed for the 2008 pre-election core that concerns election administration.
There is this item; I will post later a followup that I used in 2006.

Did your student ever find the election administration relevant information in the common content?
