My quick input: Question One is totally bogus. Don't support it.

Even the people behind it can't make any guarantees that things will work out the way they claim. I know, because I interviewed their cult-like leader Carla Howell, who was remarkably incapable of answering direct questions pertaining to unintended consequences.

I'm a bit worried because when I registered at my current address and then got my confirmation they put an "h" in my last name that isn't supposed to be there. I called the election dpt and he said "there's no 'h'" ... um, OK but the letter I'm looking at does. "you'll probably get a new one". Um, nope. So, crossing my fingers! I believe I still have the letter from the election dept so that should help :p
