They &#8230; make a difficult job impossible to do. They can&#8217;t spell, meet deadlines, send documents to the right address or code elections correctly. They leave races off the ballot for us to correct, they can&#8217;t program their software to work and you have to hand add the results. And they don&#8217;t return phone calls. The ES&#038;S people in Arkansas are capable but the people I have dealt with in the home office in Omaha prevent them from being effective. They are also mean-spirited when you try to get them to correct the numerous and recurring errors.&#8221;\u009d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Take Action: Contact Congress to Ban Electronic Ballots! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/genera_jgideon_070303_take_action_3a_contact.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Exclusive: John Edwards Says &#8216;Yes&#8217; To Ban On Touch-Screen (DRE) Voting Machines! <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4217\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AL: Vendor set to install database for voters <a href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/mobileregister\/index.ssf?\/base\/news\/1172917172292480.xml&#038;coll=3\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AR: Miller County &#8211; Commission is looking for new election administrator <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texarkanagazette.com\/articles\/2007\/03\/03\/local_news\/news\/news12.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AR: St Francis County &#8211; Some polling locations will be consolidated in special election <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thnews.com\/article.php?id=1787\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: San Luis Obispo County &#8211; Grand jury praises clerk-recorder&#8217;s 2006 election work <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanluisobispo.com\/mld\/sanluisobispo\/news\/local\/16825331.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Denver &#8211; Fmr.
