‘Daily Voting News’ For August 08, 2007

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

California is still the big news. Counties are beginning to realize that they have some decisions to make and some planning to do. While most counties take on the challenges one or two Registrars have decided that rather than do any planning they would rather whine and threaten. These will probably be the counties who are not ready in February. Meanwhile there is more news from Kentucky where the Secretary of State is traveling around the state talking with local officials about the California reports and what they mean to Kentucky’s voting machines. Tuesday was primary day in Mississippi and the media is talking about the many failures, both with voting machines and administratively, in their election….

      Dredd, that’s the reason why I say there will never be a populist elected in this country again, until we get rid of the hack boxes and re institute the fairness doctrine.
      Look at Hillary, do we think she is that far ahead of everyone else in the polls? I sure as hell don’t.
      Obama got the ‘Dean scream’, Edwards got the ‘haircut’ treatment.
      I call bullshit on this whole illusion, without real polls, we’re fuked.

      Maybe you, or some friendly website, could put up a map of America and show with color the states which have banned DREs and the degree to which other states are inflagrante.

      Sometimes a visual illustration can say much more than 1000 posts.

      California, Florida and New Mexico get a bright Green for ‘good to go’. Will Kentucky soon follow?
