‘Daily Voting News’ For February 28, 2006

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

I’m back and today’s DVN includes some articles from the past two days added in with today’s articles. Early voting for this year’s primaries is taking place in TX and IL. It looks like NY will be using their lever machines for another election year. It would be catastrophic for them to change this late in the game. PA is a mess with counties rushing to get anything and not much really certified by the state or federal authorities. …

      You have a typo where you mention Florida "with its 271 electoral votes".

      I am glad you cite Black Box Voting and Bev Harris because that gives your work more creedence, since she is practically the mother of all movements that seek integrity in the election process.

      At least as to bad electronic voting machines. And yes, I am biased in her favor in these matters.

      Welcome.
