Just a note to mention that Sec. of State Bowen is addressing the convention right now.  She mentioned a project to create a Wiki at the Secretary of State’s page to use social networking toward participatory democracy.  “Voters deserve transparent and verifiable elections… ‘Just trust us’ is not the basis of a viable democracy, just check out Iran.”

Yeah, I’m back.

…Bowen talks about the correlation between voter confidence and voter participation.  Also, she is talking about how she isn’t co-chairing anyone’s Presidential campaign while running Presidential elections.
