The New York Post reports:
Taxpayers in dozens of Long Island school districts have been footing the bill for a computer system that can help rig elections to pass school budgets.
There's more:
Bold Systems LLC, based in Bellport, LI, sells software that lets school districts track votes in real time on Election Day and identify which parents, district employees and 18-year-old students have not yet voted. The districts, it says, can then generate “call lists” to urge those voters — who are most likely to support a budget increase — to get to the polls.
But under state law, this is illegal “electioneering.”
The self interest of government run education. It's times like this where it's probably wise to wonder whether it's a good idea for government workers to be able to
vote.
