Terrible news 
<http://www.electionline.org/index.php/electionline-weekly> for those of 
us who have come to depend upon Mindy, Doug and the Electionline team to 
keep us up to date on news, trends and analysis in election administration:

    *Director's Note: Au Revoir*
    /electionline.org to go on indefinite hiatus beginning August 8/

    By Doug Chapin <mailto:dchapin at umn.edu>

    In September 2001, /electionline.org/ made its first appearance
    online. At the time, our idea was that with so many different
    election reform efforts underway across the nation it was important
    to have a comprehensive yet unbiased source of news and information
    about the field.

    It's been a terrific 12 years -- covering most of three presidential
    election cycles -- but, as with everything else, all good things
    must come to an end.

    Next week on August 8, the site will go on indefinite hiatus.

    Our friends and colleagues at The Pew Charitable Trusts have been
    more than generous partners throughout the years -- providing
    operational and substantive support via grants and direct project
    funding -- but as far back as 2001 it was understood that eventually
    Pew's investment would end as it pursued new and different
    priorities both inside and out of the field of elections.

    Now, that day has come....
