HOT TOPIC LUNCH Monday, September 23, 2019
11:30 A.M - 1 P.M. Michael’s Restaurant, 1000 Churchman's Rd, Newark, DE 19713
TOPIC: Ranked-Choice Voting SPEAKER: UPenn Professor Emeritus Jack Nagel
The simple plurality voting typically used in the U.S. is not the only option. At our LWVNCC September Hot Topic luncheon, Dr. Jack Nagel will briefly review several alternative electoral reforms, and then focus on ranked-choice voting (RCV) for single-winner elections, also known as "instant runoff voting." Several state Leagues have formed positions supporting RCV, and it was used in state-wide elections in Maine for the first time in 2018. In ranked-choice voting, voters rank candidates in order of preference on the ballot (first choice, second choice, and so on). Dr. Jack H. Nagel is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. In his research and teaching, he has investigated alternatives to the single-winner plurality elections that dominate in the U.S. Following a Fulbright lectureship in New Zealand and two later research trips there, he wrote numerous papers on that country's adoption of, and experience with, a mixed-member proportional system. He has also studied effects of plurality elections on three-party competition in Britain and analyzed reform attempts in Britain and Canada. Jack has provided invited testimony on electoral reforms to legislatures or courts in Pennsylvania, Quebec, and Minnesota; and he has written op eds on electoral matters for major newspapers. He is a senior research advisor to the national reform group, FairVote.org, and assisted them in defending Ranked Choice Voting against legal challenges in Minnesota and Maine. In 2016-17, Jack served on a statewide committee re-assessing electoral reform issues for the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters. To get a “leg up” on understanding the alphabet soup of alternative electoral systems, September Hot Topic attendees are encouraged to view these simple, short introductory videos beforehand: • RCV, or IRV – Instant Runoff Voting (single-winner ranked choice) – RCV Conceptual Introduction • RCV / IRV – real-life instructions from Minnesota: vote.minneapolismn.gov/rcv/ • STV – Single Transferable Vote (multi-winner ranked choice) – STV Conceptual Introduction • STV – real-life instructions from Scotland: Scottish Council Elections • MMP – Mixed-Member Proportional – MMP Conceptual Introduction
LWVNCC Hot Topic lunches are held at Michaels' Restaurant in Christiana. $18.00 paid at time of the event covers buffet lunch, soft beverage and tip. Please pay in cash if at all possible. If you don't wish to buy lunch, you may come around noon for the program only (the presentation usually starts around 12:10 pm). The public is cordially invited to attend. Please RSVP to [email protected] or 302-571-8948 by Sunday, Sept 22, so we can let the restaurant know how many to expect.

The League of Women Voters of New Castle County
invites you to its monthly TED X Talk Discussion
“Feminist Friendship” by Dr. Cori Wong September 21, 2019 at 1:00pm
For September: The Greene Turtle Bar & Grille, 425 Stanton Christiana Rd, Newark Delaware 19713.
The format is to watch the TED X Talk and then discuss the Ideas Worth Sharing.
Order off the regular menu as desired. The League of Women Voters of the United States has embarked on a yearlong project that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion. One aspect of the project is to explore the diversity, equity, and inclusion that exists in The League. In many cases there is not a lot of diversity in the various League chapters. One desired outcome of the project is to increase the diversity in the chapters, to create an environment where people of color and ethnicity are welcomed. To this point, the project included a TEDX Talk entitled “Feminist Friendship” by Dr. Cori Wong. Dr. Wong notes that: “Feminism is hard and complicated—doing good feminist work and doing work to be a good feminist is even harder. White feminists have a long history of ignoring intersectionality within the women’s movement; rather than leveraging differences among women as strengths and a resource, they continue to be ignored.” Even though we may feel that we are doing what we believe to be good work in social justice, we may find that we are actually doing social justice poorly in our own practices. In this talk, Dr. Wong, describes a model of ‘Feminism Friendship’ that she has developed that call attention to the skills we are already using with our closest relationships that would allow us to better engage with others who are different than us. Dr. Cori Wong is a feminist and a philosopher. Ms. Wong serves as Special Assistant to the President and Director of the
Women & Gender Collaborative at Colorado University. Dr. Wong teaches Women’s Studies courses on contemporary feminist theory and feminist friendship at Colorado University. She is passionate about empowering “others to think through everyday life experiences to realize opportunities for personal transformation and social justice.” Join us on September 21, 2019 at 1:00pm at the Greene Turtle in Christiana to engage in a genuine dialogue, following the viewing of the TEDX Talk, on diversity and inclusion in our own social justice practices.

ELECTION COMMITTEE
The next LWV election committee meeting will be held Tuesday, September 3. The first item of business will be to prioritize the initiatives we want to focus on in the coming year. The LWVUS has communicated two campaigns that we should consider as high priorities for this committee. The first is promoting transparent and accountable redistricting practices. This initiative is of the highest priority for the League and will include participation of all 50 states. You can learn more about the People Powered Fair Maps campaign by listening to the webinar at https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/5676256666854548227 The second is abolishing the Electoral College by a constitutional amendment. The [LWVIL Education Tool Kit] explains the LWVUS position and suggested steps.
Jill Itzkowitz Co-chair
VOTER OUREACH AND EDUCATION
During the summer, the LWVNCDE has been asked to participate in events such as Farmers Markets, the Wilmington Housing Authority Empowerment Fair. Mount Pleasant High School has already requested for registration for the "new seniors". We are working in conjunction with various community groups to have registration classes and registration drives. Patti Christopher, Voter Registration Chair [email protected]

LWVDE Alternative Voting Methodologies Study
Besides plurality voting as commonly used in the U.S., other ways to count votes include ranked choice voting, approval voting and proportional representation. Several state Leagues have formed positions in favor of ranked-choice voting (RCV), which is also known as instant-runoff voting (IRV). Should Delaware join their ranks?
At the State Convention in June 2019, LWVDE members approved a study on alternative voting methodologies and their potential application in Delaware. League members from all three counties are participating in the study. We are in the early investigative stages this summer.
The study team believes that a discussion of general voting principles... what the goals of an election system should be... can help to inform and guide our study. To that end we are asking all interested League members to fill out this survey: LWVDE Voting Principles Survey - August 2019. We'll be taking survey responses until August 31, 2019.
Our next in-person study team meeting will be Wednesday September 11, at 2 pm, in the House Majority Caucus Room at Legislative Hall in Dover. All are welcome! If you think you might like to participate in the study, or if you are just curious about how League studies are run… please come! Contact Kim Wells ([email protected]) or Jill Itzkowitz ([email protected]) for more information or to RSVP, and/or to get in on a carpool from Sussex or NCC.
LWVNCC ANNUAL REPORT - JUNE 2019
Marj Johnson, LWVNCC President First of all, let me say what a steep learning curve I have been on these last two years, and I want to thank the extremely active, engaged, and informed board I have had the pleasure to work with. They are creative, motivated, and dedicated to the League and whenever there was a project, they took the initiative and ran with it. And, as always, many thanks to Letty Diswood, without whom none of us could operate, and without whom I would have been adrift! Let’s give Letty and our Board a round of applause!
The Board set voting services, including registration, education, and access as our main emphasis when participating in events. At the state level, the 2019 priorities have been Clean Water, Election Reform, Renewable Portfolio Standards and the National Popular Vote.

Continued from page 5 LWVNCC Annual Report)
We have continued with our monthly Hot Topics on a variety of issues, the Great Decisions group and TED talks.
We held about 50 Voter Registration Events, including all the high schools, with our Indivisible Partners, and held candidate forums in Newark and in Hockessin. Thanks so much to Patti Christopher, Carole Walsh, Judy Taggart and Barbara Shope. We had a three year audit review, which concurred that we were following standard procedures but provided some recommendations for transparency and accuracy, and our treasurer is putting those into practice. We voted for concurrence with the Utah League on End of Life Options, enabling the state to take a position. We canvassed with Smart Justice regarding criminal justice reform. LWV provided information to a total of 349 new citizens who represented over 137
countries. The activities were held at the US District Court in Wilmington and Clayton Hall, University of Delaware, Newark. Thanks to all the volunteers who assisted: Lorraine Boticelli, Connie Georgov, Patty Jones-Huang, Vicky Kleinman, Susan Mitchell, Eugenia Nichols, Patti Christopher, and Carole Walsh. Peggy Schultz and Jane Dilley were busy on land use issues, particularly in New Castle County, collaborating with state agencies and with Bike Delaware. We will have a hot topic on one of these contentious issues later this month. Most importantly, we gained about 40 members and we continue to meet up with people who are interested in the League and its mission. Following last year’s annual meeting with the suggestions given to the Board, we held a strategic planning session to develop new short and long term goals. The following are things we determined were needed and were also able to complete: 1. Changing Website to MyLo: This site can also track data, and we can share information with the state and other
leagues who are also using this server. Thanks to Kim Wells for all her efforts in this regard and for being a great Webmaster, Facebook person.
2. Conversion to 501C3—Dick Johnson worked tirelessly on this and also funded our conversion, both of which were a huge gift to the League. As you saw/heard in his report, we are now a new entity LWVNCCDE,Inc., we are totally 501c3 which makes all donations tax deductible, and we can bring what was our Ed Fund back from National who has been administering it for us and incorporate it into our single budget.
3. We supported the National Popular Vote Compact through our advocac y corps and Jill Itzkowitz and Catriona Binder MacLeod’ elections committee and are happy to announce that it passed in DE and is currently up to 16 states with 196 electoral votes, 74 short of what is needed. Of those states, 5 are small, 7 are medium sized, and 4 are large states. In addition, that committee successfully worked on many election bills that passed.
4. We wanted to expand our ability to get voters to the polls and took nearly 30 people to the polls in 2018. However, upon reflection on some of the issues that arose, we have decided we will focus more on getting absentee ballots for people who cannot get to the polls. There were some significant liability issues that were encountered, and this seems to be the better way to address access to voting.

Continued from page 6 LWVNCC Annual Report) 5. Fundraising based on what we plan to do. We generated a budget this year based on what board members felt we
needed, to accomplish the goals of the League and to enhance our visibility in the community. Traditionally, we have asked members for additional donations to help cover our expenses and we hope you will continue to respond to that request. Extra money from the CCC event every other year has been dwindling. This coming year, we have two planned fundraisers, one a guest bartender event in Sept. at Brandywine Brewing Company that Lorraine Boticelli and her committee are working on to get bartenders that everyone will want to come and see, and another in the winter at Everything But the Kitchen Sink. We will need all of you and your friends to turn out for these events!
6. We had been looking for someone to video our events and presentations and Louise Rolleri stepped up to answer this call. She has learned the intricacies of our camera and tripod and has done a great job filming various venues and our hot topics. In response to this, we also developed a photo release form for presenters to agree to and sign, and a notification at our meetings that attendees may be filmed so they need to let us know if they do not want to be filmed.
7. We collaborated with Network Delaware and Who Runs our Schools to try Vote 411 for the school board elections in NCC along with a media blitz in an effort to increase voter awareness and turnout. Kim Wells worked tirelessly on this, was on the radio, even put a billboard up on 95, but with disappointing results. We will be revisiting the use and expense of Vote 411 for the next school board elections.
8. We reviewed and revised our Policy and Procedures and Bylaws. Jill Itzkowitz, Kim Wells, Joann Hasse and Marj Johnson worked on both of these. The Policies and Procedure changes have been approved by the board, and the Bylaws changes were sent out for your approval at this meeting.
Other areas that are still in flux: 9. We were, and still are, concerned about the upcoming census, particularly regarding the citizenship question 10. Attendance at City of Wilmington and New Castle County Council meetings to be aware of issues. Peggy Schultz
often goes to the County Council meetings in regard to land use, some members occasionally attend the Newark City Council meetings, and Pat Todd occasionally tunes in to the City of Wilmington Council meetings.
11. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)—a huge focus coming from National. We will be focusing on this with the board and the membership in the coming year.
12. Sharing info with State and National Leagues for data purposes—this has been hit or miss. One way we will be able to do this starting in July is through an excel sheet of time and money donated on behalf of the league. We started this with the New Castle Board part way through this year. Starting in July, anyone in the League can, and should, fill in their time and expenses on the spreadsheet. It will indicate whether the activity is for New Castle, Kent or Sussex League, whether it is voter services, advocacy, or other, and it will generate a monthly local league report and an annual report. This will be useful in tracking our activity (particularly as a 501c3), but also in applying for grants and sharing our data.
13. In preparation for the 100-year anniversary of the LWV Feb. 14, 2 020, and the passage of the 19th amendment Aug. 26, 2020, we had a brainstorming session and came up with a long list of ideas, some of which the state is implementing and some of which we will hopefully be doing. There are opportunities to partner with UD in various ways, with some of our museums and libraries.
14. Board Training: We joined DANA (Delaware Alliance for NonProfit Advancement) which provides courses and webinars on the needs of nonprofit boards. I have taken some of these and find them very useful, although as chaotic as our board meetings are, I’m not sure the board would agree as to how useful they were! We put some money in the budget this year so that more board members can participate in areas that interest them.
15. We recommended that we have a public relations person on the board and also a student outreach person. Susan Mitchell has agreed to be our student outreach person and is already collaborating with high schools for a 100th year anniversary challenge. We do not have a public relations person and would love to have someone step up to this challenge. Thanks to Kim Wells who has done a remarkable job getting us out there on social media, but she would be the first to plead that there is more to be done.

Continued from page 7 LWVNCC Annual Report)
16. Not addressed from last year’s recommendations to the Board: Prison outreach with My Brother’s Keeper and enlisting the help of Real Estate Companies to inform new residents about the League and Vote 411.
Going forward, we are hoping to do some evening meetings in a variety of places to attract those who can’t get to Hot Topics or Great Decisions, which are held during the day. And at League Day, Rep Longhurst recommended that each league do a forum on water—cleanliness, sustainability, and how to fund infrastructure related to the distribution of clean water. Many thanks to Coralie Pryde and her environmental committee, who have been busy mostly on the state level with a variety of environmental issues, will be helping us with these forums. I understand there is a new bill being introduced which addresses the funding for the infrastructure, so I’m sure we will be following that. I encourage all of you to go to the LWVUS website and sign up for any of the webinars that would be pertinent to you. If you are unavailable at the particular time of a webinar, you can watch them at any time as long as you have registered for them. Also on the LWVUS website, you can sign up for the biweekly update from national. There is a lot of good information in these to keep you informed. I want to extend a deep note of gratitude to Joann Hasse, who is currently leaving our board as an elected director. She has such a wealth of knowledge, history, and procedure, and she has been a huge help to me these past two years. And while she deserves some well-earned rest, having also just finished as State Board President, (again!), I am trying to enlist her to serve on our board in an unelected position, to continue to keep us all on track! Join me in thanking Joann! On a personal note, I would just like to thank you for supporting me as your president. At times it is an overwhelming task, but I have to say that there is never a meeting or an event that the League is involved in at which I don’t learn something about so many different things and meet so many interesting people. You are all an amazing group of people, and our county, our state, and our country is better for all of you! Thank you.
LWVUS HIGHLIGHTS ACTION ALERTS – UPDATES – MEMBERSHIP – PROGRAM PLANNING
LWVUS Urges Members of U.S. House to Cosponsor H. Res. 513
This week, LWVUS sent a memo to members of the U.S. House asking for support of H. Res. 513, which reaffirms the importance of democracy and the freedoms that it brings. The LWVUS memo urges U.S. House members to cosponsor this legislation. This is similar to an effort the League is working on in the U.S. Senate where legislation calls for the establishment of September as National Democracy Month. Read the memo.
Lobby Corps to U.S. House About Restoration of the Voting Rights Act
Members of the LWVUS Lobby Corps will soon visit U.S. House offices in Washington, D.C., regarding restoration of the Voting Rights Act. LWVUS seeks to find common ground with lawmakers as H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, moves forward in Committee this fall. Read our memo to lawmakers.
LWVUS Joins Solidarity Statement Following Mass Shootings in El Paso and Dayton
Following the horrific mass shootings in Texas and Ohio earlier this month, LWVUS joined key coalition partners to issue a collective statement condemning white supremacy and demanding real gun and weapons reform to combat hate. Read our full statement, and visit www.lwv.org/newsroom for all breaking news, including press releases.

LWVUS Joins Civil Rights Groups Urging Tech Companies to Make Meaningful Change in Online Violence
LWVUS joined more than 45 organizations across the civil rights, labor, faith, and technology fields in a statement to the White House ahead of its summit with technology companies on violent extremism. The statement urges the White House to ensure this summit is not used to divert attention away from the real actions these companies should take right now to reduce online activities that endanger communities of color, religious minorities, and other marginalized communities. Read the press release.
ERA Briefing Brings Together Senators and Activists
The path forward for the Equal Rights Amendment has never been clearer. With just one more state needed to ratify the amendment, our country is closer than ever to ensuring that equal rights, regardless of sex or gender, is guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. Read our blog post about actions that are being taken in Congress to clear the path toward final ratification.
LWVUS Sends Letter of Support for H.R. 1923 to Congresswoman Barbara Lee
LWVUS sent Congresswoman Barbara Lee a formal letter supporting H.R. 1923, the Women’s History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act. LWVUS and members of the Lobby Corps have been working on a successful drive for cosponsors of this legislation throughout the summer months. A companion bill in the U.S. Senate was introduced early in August. The League is proud to support this legislation as we head toward the centennial celebration of the 19th Amendment.
REMINDER: Recommended Concurrence from LWVUS Board for 2020-22 Program Planning Following our usual timeline, additional guidance regarding program planning will come out this fall, along with the board’s recommended concurrence on the electoral process that was shared with state leaders earlier this year by a group of dedicated volunteers. The additional information and supporting materials about the recommended concurrence have been updated and can be found on the League Management Site. Questions regarding this concurrence should be directed to Barbara Klein at [email protected] and Paula Lee at [email protected].
She Is Me Campaign
In case you missed it, the She Is Me campaign launched today! Check out our posts on Facebook and Twitter, and browse the hashtag #SheIsMeLWV. If your League would like to participate with us, you can re-share these posts on your own accounts, or check out the She Is Me toolkit that includes sample posts, graphics, and other resources. You can also check out the Facebook profile picture frame, available now by searching for She Is Me or League of Women Voters US. Remember to tag your posts #SheIsMeLWV. We're so excited to see all the activity throughout the year-long campaign!
New LWVUS Merchandise Portal!
We are excited to announce the launch of the LWVUS Merch Portal, where Leagues can bulk order LWV-branded products created by the national office. It’s important to note that LWVUS will not be profiting from this Merch Portal, but we have created this site in order to provide brand consistent products for Leagues nationwide to easily order online. Leagues are not required to use these products and can continue to customize their own items using the official logos. Current inventory includes signs, stickers, buttons, and customizable business cards. Keep an eye out, as we will be adding more items in the coming months!
