I sent out a press release announcing that I switched parties, and I 
essentially endorsed one of the GOP SoS candidates -- a fellow named Mike 
Delph.  He's the only one talking about making fixes to the election 
process.  Nothing big, but he's the only one other than me (before I was 
knocked out) who is talking about something relvant to the office.  Also, 
I ran into him several times on the campaign trail and he knows about AV 
though I wouldn't expect him to be willing to stick his neck out on it.  
Still, he might be someone to work on.

I sent him a copy of the release with a note to give me a call.  We can 
talk and see if there might be some mutual benefit in my working for his 
campaign.

Not sure if I'll stay on the list, but I'll definitely try to keep in 
touch.  If anyone wants to reach me after I close this account, send email
