The news about the DoJ suing New York was expected and now it&#8217;s here. The DoJ seems to want chaos in elections and they may get it. In Pennsylvania the state &#8216;supremes&#8217; have decided that state law can be followed or ignored when it suits officials and they have allowed counties to go ahead and change voting systems. In Florida a bill has been introduced to require a voter verified paper ballot. And in Maryland it seems that the Governor is not convinced that the Diebold code question has been answered satisfactorily and he is concerned. Meanwhile there are protesters in California and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson signs the paper ballot bill into law&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>CA: Critics Say State Rush On Touch Screens Risks Secure Voting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=990&#038;Itemid=113\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Orange County &#8211; Dozens of New O.C.
