According to an article in Hometown Annapolis; “Addressing the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee yesterday, state Elections Administrator Linda Lamone conceded that a paper voting record will be a part of future Maryland elections, although she still believes in the integrity of the state’s current system. “After meeting with you and other policy-makers over the past several days, it is clear that there is a consensus to take the next step towards a voter verifiable voting system,” Ms. Lamone said. “As we move forward, I want to work with you to ensure that we do not lose the advantages that we have gained – a secure, accurate and reliable system – or make mistakes that will undermine the rights of voters with disabilities or diminish usability.”” Lamone will continue to ‘jibber-jabber’ about her paperless Diebold machines until they pry them from her control….

      Connecticut has made it harder for the poor and disabled people to obtain non-drivers Id’s from the Department of Motor Vehicles by limiting the locations where people can get and renew there ID’s People were once able to get Non-driver Id’s on mobile Busses that go to different communities and at Tripple A locations. People who drive are still able to renew there license at these locations. By limiting the locations where people can get non-driver Id’s it makes it harder for people who do not drive to get Id’s. I am legally blind and it was much harder to get my Id then it has been in the past. A picture Id from the Department of Motor Vehicles is required to vote in Connecticut.

      Clint Curtis is still at it:

      Last week I attended several meetings in Washington DC and New York where Congressional leaders are ready to make sure that this [vote machine fiasco] never happens again. Congressman Conyers, Jackson, Meeks, Killpatrick, Nadler, Watson, Rangel, Holt, and Speaker of the House Pelosi were firm in their support of election reform that insures elections are decide by the voters and not secret machines. They have promised to make that a priority. Our task is to provide them with the information they need to make that happen. By providing them with hard data that shows Democratic candidates, such as myself, received more votes than the scanners and touch screens recorded; they can force the issue of true verifiable elections.

      The revolution is spreading. That is a good thing.
