PerpetualElection.com Launches News and Discussion Site Press Release
NOVEMBER 10, 2000 -- PerpetualElection.com, the only website devoted exclusively to news about the first perpetual presidential election in U.S. history, launched on Friday.
The site, operated by activists and journalists, is designed to provide an information and discussion area for Americans who want to follow the recent events in the Sunshine State.
For example: Will Al Gore litigate? Did George W. Bush truly win? Why would over 3,000 people vote for Pat Buchanan anyway? Could the House of Representatives pick the next president? At PerpetualElection.com, we'll chart the story's development with the help of our readers.
Unlike many other sites, PerpetualElection.com has liberals, conservatives, greens, and libertarians as editors. All have equal ability to post news and start discussions, and there is no single editorial point of view.
Some of our editors, in alphabetical order:
* Sonia Arrison of the Pacific Research Institute in San Francisco
* Kathleen Ellis, a Baltimore system administrator and journalist
* Declan McCullagh, Washington correspondent for Wired News
* Jill Pelavin, a programmer living in Mountain View, California
PerpetualElection.com is an open source project: It runs on a Red Hat Linux server and uses mySQL as a database. The Slash engine, made popular by Slashdot.org, is used for discussions and articles.
