Any takers? \/ Recently EAC Commissioner Donnetta Davidson spoke before the &#8220;Florida State Association of Supervisor of Elections&#8221;. Witnesses to that speech have reported that Ms. Davidson expressed concern that Democrats won control of the Senate in the recent election. Her concern? She stated that she had promises from Republicans in the Senate that legislation requiring a voter verified paper audit trail and audits would never come to the floor. Ms. Davidson&#8217;s statements seem to be neither independent nor bipartisan and show a willingness to play politics rather than work for the good of the voter&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Opinion &#8211; The Election Is in the Mail <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/12\/06\/opinion\/06goldway.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Panel Backs Guideline Favoring Voting-Machine Verification <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2006\/12\/05\/AR2006120501355.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Electronic voting panel passes proposal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chron.com\/disp\/story.mpl\/ap\/nation\/4382470.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Federal Election Panel Supports NISTs Recommendations <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yubanet.com\/artman\/publish\/article_46982.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Panel changes direction on e-voting audit trail <a href=\"http:\/\/computerworld.com\/action\/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#038;taxonomyName=standards_legal_issues&#038;articleId=9005724&#038;taxonomyId=146\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Electronic Treason  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/robert-koehler\/electronic-treason_b_35736.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Napa County &#8211; Shaver asks for recount<br \/>\nAmCan City Council results in question <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesheraldonline.com\/ci_4788413\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Riverside County &#8211; Group presents analysis of county voting problems<br \/>\nELECTION: A supervisor challenges Save R Vote to find a person who can hack the system. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pe.com\/localnews\/inland\/stories\/PE_News_Local_H_votes06.3893b52.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Riverside County &#8211; Supervisors give OK on election  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nctimes.com\/articles\/2006\/12\/06\/news\/californian\/21_04_5512_5_06.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Montrose County &#8211; County appoints five to election committee <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montrosepress.com\/articles\/2006\/12\/06\/local_news\/2.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>DE: Do you vote?
