Unfortunately, I reported from the wrong article. The room used was, in fact, the same hearing room that had been used in past meetings and there were members of the elections staff in attendance. What is important is that there were very few members of the public who defended the Diebold TSx and there were many from the disabled community who all spoke about the complete lack of accessibility provided by these machines. Thank you to all of those who pointed out my error. I would also like to take this opportunity to join my associate, Ellen Theisen, in wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Please be safe and enjoy the holiday&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>National: Democracy in America Has Officially Become a Privatized Circus <a href=\" https:\/\/bradblog.com\/archives\/00002063.htm\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AL: DeKalb County &#8211; Election issues remain unresolved  (More vendor misinformation) <a href=\" http:\/\/www.times-journal.com\/report.lasso?wcd=4867\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: E-voting group invited to hack machines  (Diebold) <a href=\" http:\/\/www.fcw.com\/article91533-11-23-05-Web\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: No-Confidence Vote: A Trinity prof and the secretary of the state square off over new voting machines <a href=\" http:\/\/hartfordadvocate.com\/gbase\/News\/content?oid=oid:134741\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: New voting machines on the horizon <a href=\" http:\/\/www.zwire.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=15629583&#038;BRD=1661&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=9538&#038;rfi=6\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: Newtown &#8211; Registrars&#8217; Voting Machine Tryout Yields A Favorite (Danaher over Diebold and Avante) <a href=\" http:\/\/www.newtownbee.com\/News.asp?s=News-2005-11-23-14-37-16p1.htm\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>IL: Peoria &#8211; State&#8217;s Attorney: Peoria grand jury probing ties between Eugene Wittry, Election Board member, voting machine vendor   (Populex) <a href=\" http:\/\/www.pjstar.com\/stories\/112305\/TRI_B874V38K.007.shtml\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MI: Wayne County &#8211; Challenger to Seek Detroit Mayor Recount <a href=\" http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2005\/11\/23\/ap\/politics\/mainD8E1U4800.shtml\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MO: Franklin County &#8211; County Gets Grant to Upgrade Voting Machines <a href=\" http:\/\/www.zwire.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=15627893&#038;BRD=1409&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=33071&#038;rfi=6\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MS: Lincoln County &#8211; County gets much less than sought for voting <a href=\" http:\/\/www.zwire.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=15632103&#038;BRD=1377&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=172922&#038;rfi=6\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NC: N.C. election training still not updated <a href=\" http:\/\/www.charlotte.com\/mld\/observer\/news\/local\/13238746.htm\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NC: Person County \u2013 State is telling the county that their precinct based op-scans may be decertified  <a href=\" http:\/\/www.roxboro-courier.com\/newsnowstories\/ts112305-1.htm\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Montgomery County \u2013 City of Carlisle to contest election <a href=\" http:\/\/www.middletownjournal.com\/news\/content\/news\/stories\/2005\/11\/23\/mj1123carlisle.html\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Galveston County &#8211; County buys new voting system (Hart Intercivic) <a href=\" http:\/\/galvestondailynews.com\/story.lasso?ewcd=5be6d0edebe493e6\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Fort Bend County &#8211; Translators at polls focus of inquiry by Justice Department <a href=\" http:\/\/www.herald-coaster.com\/articles\/2005\/11\/23\/news\/news01.txt\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Bandera County &#8211; Voting canvass yields positive results, no inaccuracies found (Hart Intercivic \u2013 Canvass of a DRE shows no problems \u2013 Go figure!) <a href=\" http:\/\/www.banderabulletin.com\/articles\/2005\/11\/23\/news\/754.txt\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>VA: Panel defers decision on voting audit trails <a href=\" http:\/\/www.timesdispatch.com\/servlet\/Satellite?pagename=RTD%2FMGArticle%2FRTD_BasicArticle&#038;c=MGArticle&#038;cid=1128768316817&#038;path=!news&#038;s=1045855934842\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>International: Venezuela&#8217;s Electoral Council Concedes to Many Opposition Demands <a href=\" http:\/\/www.venezuelanalysis.com\/news.php?newsno=1822\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<b>**&#8221;Daily Voting News&#8221; is meant as a comprehensive listing of reports each day concerning issues related to election and voting news around the country regardless of quality or political slant.
