(InfoWorld) - A federal appeals court in California has ruled that vote-swapping Web sites are legal and are protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The?decision,?released Monday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, stemmed from the contentious presidential election of 2000 between Vice President Al Gore and George W. Bush. At the time, two Web sites -- VoteSwap2000.com and VoteExchange2000.com -- were created to encourage voters to swap their votes. Alan Porter, owner of VoteSwap2000.com and William Cody, owner of VoteExchange2000.com provided voters with a way to trade their votes via e-mail.
"The vote-swap mechanisms enabled third-party supporters in a swing state such as Florida or Ohio to agree to be paired with major-party supporters in a 'safe state' such as Massachusetts or Texas, whereby the swing-state users would promise to vote for the major-party candidate and, in exchange, the safe-state users would promise to vote for the third-party candidate," according to the decision.
The court said the purpose of the swaps was to improve Gore's odds of winning the votes of Democratic members of the Electoral College in the swing states without reducing Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's share of the national popular vote.
However, four days after the Web sites were launched, then-California Secretary of State Bill Jones threatened to criminally prosecute Porter for allegedly violating various provisions of the California election and penal codes, which included selling votes for money.
In the face of such action, both Porter and Cody disabled their Web sites and filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that Jones' threatened prosecution violated the First Amendment and exceeded his authority under California's election code.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and the National Voting Rights Institute, which is now affiliated with Demos, a national, nonpartisan public policy, research and advocacy center, represented Porter and Cody as well as two individual voters, Patrick Kerr and Steven Lewis.
According to the circuit court's decision, the district court found the case to be moot on two occasions, most recently because of an informal letter former California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley wrote to the state Legislature asking for clarification of state election code provisions.
"Because the letter does not assure that California will not threaten to prosecute vote-swapping Web sites in the future, we conclude that this appeal is not moot," the circuit court said. "On the merits, we hold that Jones violated appellants' First Amendment rights. The Web sites vote-swapping mechanisms, as well as the communication and vote swaps they enabled, were constitutionally protected."
In addition, the circuit court said trading votes over the Internet is not the same as bribing people to vote a certain way.
"The Web sites did not encourage the trading of votes for money, or indeed for anything other than other votes," the circuit court said.
Debra Bowen, the current California secretary of state, could not be reached for comment.
"The Ninth Circuit's ruling now establishes that the activities that Secretary Jones attempted to squelch are at the heart of the liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment and cannot be prosecuted under vote-buying statutes," the ACLU said in a statement. "The decision will be an important precedent protecting the right of Web site operators and voters to maintain and use such sites in future presidential elections."
I found this recipe on the web.
From Booyah King, Bob Baye, of Green Bay, WI
He has been making Booyah since 1946 in 100-gallon cookers
I think you will find this recipe great!
1 roasting or stewing chicken (about 4 pounds)
1 pound beef stew meat w/bones (mine had none)
1 pound pork stew meat, with bones
1/2 cub minced parsley
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sage
4 cups quarted potatoes
I also added about 2 1/2 cups red potatoes
2 cups choped onions
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup carrots
1 cup green beans
1 cup fresh peas
1 cup skinned , seeded, chopped tomatoes
2 lemons
Put chicken in a deep kettle (the batch I made just about filled up a 21 gallon kettle)
w/the beef and pork. Cover with boiling water. Bring slowly to a simmer, remove scum from the top, and add herbs and seasonings. Simmer very gently, covered, about 1 hour.
Remove chicken and when cooled take meat from the bones and cut into pieces. Let beef and pork continue to cook until tender, 45 minutes to and hour more.
Remove and let cool enough to remove meat from bones. Add vegetables to the broth and simmer 5 to 10 minutes to an hour more.
Grate lemon rind and set aside: remove white pith and seeds from the lemons, chop the pulp and add to the broth. Taste for seasoning. While vegetables are still crisp, return the meat pieces to the broth to heat through. Serve in large soup bowls and sprinkle with lemon rind.
Serves 12 to 16. Maybe more at 21 quarts
