Wednesday, October 27, 2010, at 12:00 Noon, I am hosting my show, The Advocates on WVOX- 1460 AM, or you can listen to the program’s live streaming at www.wvox.com. One can call the show at 914-636-0110 to reach us on the radio. Our guest is Ms. Allegra Dengler, conservationist, activist and expert on voting machines.
Allegra Dengler served as a Dobbs Ferry Village Trustee, and also was a candidate for Mayor of Dobbs Ferry, NY. She is a member of the Sierra Club’s Atlantic Chapter Conservation Committee and also serves on their Global warming and Energy Committee and their Gas Drilling Task Force. She currently is the Energy Conservation Coordinator of the Town of Greenburgh.
She currently Chairs, Citizens for Voting Integrity and distributes the election integrity newsletter CVIVoter. She also Chairs, the Election Reform Task Force of the Atlantic Chapter, Sierra Club and is a member of the Progressive Democrats of America Clean Elections Group and the New York Democratic Lawyers Council HAVA Committee
Allegra worked with groups around the state to try to implement a reliable, trust-worthy voting system when New York gave up its
Lever machines: LWV, New Yorkers for Verified Voting, the Brennan Center, and the NY Democratic Lawyers Council. Allegra travelled to Ohio, PA, NH and Florida as well as New York locations where she worked for election protection. In NH, she participated in the recount of the Clinton- Obama primary in 2008. In FL, she worked at the polls for four days in Broward County with the FL Attorneys Election Protection effort, observing six hour lines and voter intimidation in the Obama-McCain 2008 race.
Meanwhile, the mission of The Advocates is to bring to the public differing views on current “public policy” issues. “Public policy,” therefore, is what we as a nation legally and traditionally follow.
