Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of law, culture, technology, and politics. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.

Hi Declan,

You've probably heard about accusations that Florida Attorney General
Charlie Christ recently spammed voters.

I did a quick tour of Crist's gubernatorial campaign web site,
www.charliecrist.com. Crist may be a law-and-order candidate, but his
site does a shoddy job of email etiquette. I describe some of my
findings, which include broken unsubscribe links, lack of closed-loop
verification, and a dead "info" account, on my blog:
