Hartzman <carloscc@private> To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> I found some difficulty using the proxy server to access state sites at VerifiedVoting.org. Here is another site that gives all the information Americans abroad need to be able get a ballot. Unlike most other voter abroad sites that I've seen, it doesn't require a link to the U.S. overseas voter website. www.democratsabroad.org Carl S.
