Depending on the amount of Voting News tomorrow and Monday this may be the final DVN until after Christmas. \/ The revolving door is getting a work-out in Georgia. Going out on one side is Deputy SoS Kathy Rogers who was directly in charge of the state&#8217;s voting systems amongst other duties. She also held a position on the Election Assistance Commission Standards Board. She is now an employee of Diebold. A fact that should call into question all decisions and statements made by Ms. Rogers over the last year or more. Coming in on the other side of the door is Rob Timms who is taking Ms. Rogers&#8217; job. Timms, until now, has been a political &#8216;hack&#8217; working for various Republican office holders in the state of Georgia and most recently has been working for the lobby firm that has Diebold as its number one client in Georgia. Timms has no elections experience and has a BA in Government&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: U.S. Drops Inquiry of Voting Machine Firm<br \/>\nVenezuelan Parent Company, With Possible Ties to Chavez Government, Agrees to Sell <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2006\/12\/22\/AR2006122201304.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Suspicions aroused by voting machine problems <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knoxnews.com\/kns\/national\/article\/0,1406,KNS_350_5231946,00.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Touch-screen voting hasn&#8217;t erased worries <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/news\/local\/florida\/sfl-fvote23dec23,0,5435136.story?coll=sfla-news-florida\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: FL-13 &#8211; Pelosi gives Jennings some hope<br \/>\nThe new Congress is seated in 12 days <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20061223\/NEWS\/612230343\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: VIDEO &#8211; Christine Jennings Discusses FL-13th With Kitty Pilgrim <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=3938\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Sarasota County &#8211; Team of Computer Scientists To Review ES&#038;S iVotronic Source Code <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2143&#038;Itemid=51\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Sarasota County &#8211; Filings made in machine code issue <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20061223\/NEWS\/612230643\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>GA: Voting machine firm hires ex-elections director <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/metro\/content\/metro\/stories\/2006\/12\/22\/1223metelect.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>GA: Diebold Moves into the Georgia SoS Office <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2145&#038;Itemid=51\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>IN: Lugar loses two votes, hangs on by more than 1 million<br \/>\nELECTION RECOUNT: Libertarian says partial recount points to voting flaws <a href=\"http:\/\/nwitimes.com\/articles\/2006\/12\/23\/news\/lake_county\/6f1c04021fdd8e568625724d000aec4a.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>KS: Sedgwick County &#8211; Challenger won&#8217;t have to pay for recount <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kansas.com\/mld\/kansas\/news\/16303210.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>KS: Sedgwick County &#8211; Judge says Democrat doesn&#8217;t have to pay for recount in House race <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kansas.com\/mld\/kansas\/news\/state\/16307643.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Voting machine resistance<br \/>\nNassau and Suffolk take aim at state&#8217;s deadline to replace lever machines by September primaries <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsday.com\/news\/local\/longisland\/ny-livote225024897dec22,0,7772406.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Saratoga County &#8211; County to fix old voting machines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saratogian.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=17627252&#038;BRD=1169&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=17708&#038;rfi=6\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Elections officials say 81 percent of provisional ballots valid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohio.com\/mld\/beaconjournal\/news\/state\/16301662.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p><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.
