We also have another in support of Emery County Utah clerk Bruce Funk who has taken a stand against Diebold DREs. And there is a petition at VoteTrustUSA in support of HR-550. That petition has over 50,000 signatures and the number is growing quickly. The petition will be delivered to the House Rules Committee on Friday. In the bad news category we have more failed memory cards in Summit County, Ohio and now a report of ES&#038;S not meeting dates for smart card delivery in Johnson County Indiana. That will force that county to use paper ballots (which may be a good thing)&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Hundreds of activists to demand paper trail and open tallies on voting devices  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehill.com\/thehill\/export\/TheHill\/Business\/040506_voting.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Lynn Landes &#8211; Supreme Court Denies Standing &#038; Allows Costs Against Voting Rights Activist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecotalk.org\/LandesRuling.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Kerry Calls For Voting Rights for Katrina Victims <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scoop.co.nz\/stories\/WO0604\/S00074.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Miami Herald seeks to find Venezuela fault with Dutch-owned Smartmatic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vheadline.com\/readnews.asp?id=52618\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Successful public election joins Diebold, free software <a href=\"http:\/\/trends.newsforge.com\/trends\/06\/03\/23\/2040258.shtml?tid=136&#038;tid=132\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: VerifiedVoting.org Urges Support HR550 for Voter-Verified Paper Records &#8211; Still The &#8220;Gold Standard&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=1161&#038;Itemid=26\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: State working to address rejected voters.
