Our local election integrity group is working on messaging for an upcoming protest. Here's a fun diversion, to demonstrate that we're all still human.
Original post to listserv:
Our local team was working on messaging tonight. This is probably what we'll put on our signs for our upcoming protest (*):
American Democracy
- secret ballot
- public vote count
- citizen oversight
Someone said, "Hey, kind of looks like haiku." Thusly inspired, here's my first themed haiku:
peaceful elections
secret ballot, public count
strong democracy
Hoping others give the idea a spin.
Cheers, Jason Osgood / Seattle WA
(*) Monday May 14th 6:30pm King County Council chambers, opposing purchase of Diebold DRS ballot image scanners.
Here's today's contribution:
count my secret vote
in space open to all eyes
democracy sings
