<\/a>In what may be the first local action to HR-811, Westmoreland Co. Pennsylvania is asking<\/a> for more state or federal funds to allow them to change voting systems if their present system is affected by federal legislation. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile Florida’s Governor, Charlie Crist, has announced <\/a> that he wants to use new ballot on demand technology for early voting thus allowing the state of Florida to go to 99% paper ballots in any election.<\/p>\n

In Ohio newly elected SOS Jennifer Brunner warned members of the Cuyahoga Co. Board of Elections that they all need to resign. The two Democratic members of the board have taken this advice but the two Republican members have decided to ignore Brunner’s warning that she will air their dirty laundry if they don’t resign. True to her word, and as reported here on The BRAD BLOG<\/a>, Brunner has sent an 18 page document to each of the hangers-on that spells out their failures and makes those failures public. The failures include numerous instances of misfeasance, nonfeasance, and violations of state election law in five distinct areas. The big question now is who is going to conduct elections in this county? The Board is gone, the election director was fired, one manager is now going to prison for 18 months along with one employee, and there have been many resignations. And all of this is on top of yet another criminal investigation to find out whether vote counts from early and absentee voters were totaled before Election Day. …<\/p>\n
