Help Send Voting Systems Nerd Jameson Quinn to Worldcon

Pug puppies look out from a kennel at the Animal Foundation Campus, 655 N. Mojave Road, Tuesday, March 4, 2014. The puppies, which were rescued during a fire at the Prince and Princess Pet Shop on Jan. 27, will be raffled off under a plan disclosed at the Clark County Commission meeting Tuesday.

I’ve been remiss in not pointing to this post on File 770, in which Jameson Quinn thoroughly outlines the various options people are mulling over for saving the Hugo Awards from voting slates and harassment.

If this is an issue you care about, please consider throwing a few bucks at Jameson’s YouCaring campaign, to enable him to attend Worldcon this year:.

I believe that there will be at least two new proposals on the table this year, and I think that, as with last year, my voting systems expertise could be valuable in helping the Business Meeting understand the implications of these options and decide what to do.

He’s about halfway to his goal, so every bit can help.
