Guest Blogged by John Gideon of Voters Unite.org
(NOTE FROM BRAD: I’ve asked John to post VotersUnite.org’s excellent “Daily Voting News”, a comprehensive list of the days major election and voting related stories, directly on BRAD BLOG each day. He’s agreed to do so. And today’s busy Election Day seems a great day to start. The articles that John chooses to include in the DVN are not necessarily opinions that we agree with, but rather, they’re meant as a comprehensive listing of the each day’s major Voting-related news, no matter which side of the political aisle they may fall on. I’d like to thank both John and Ellen Theissen, of VotersUnite.org for agreeing to share the listings each day with BRAD BLOG readers!)
