John Bonifaz ran for secretary of state of Massachusetts, is the founder of the National Voting Rights Institute, and is currently the legal director of Voter Action. We took a trip to his office in Amherst, Massachusetts, and he responded to a couple of comments left on our videos.

  1. AllAboutVoting Says:

    It was nice to hear from John. I think that the video format is very limited for responding to specific comments. You only got to two of them in this clip. So I encourage John to actively comment on WT? videos and WT? blog entries.

    Regarding the second comment that John responded to: John failed to acknowledge that there are proposals that allow voters to verify their vote. One such system is called PunchScan.
