Some voters in Georgia are using their state mandated voter ID cards for more than just voting. It seems that it has become a free piece of identification for cashing checks and some voters have more than one of the cards.

In response to this at least one local activist incorrectly states that passage of HR-811 will save the county money by it&#8217;s use of a paper-based voting system. Nothing in the bill will force the county to use anything but voting machines with a different voter verified paper record printer. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Opinion &#8211; Voting over there <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/news\/opinion\/bal-ed.votes25jun25,0,5092372.story?coll=bal-opinion-headlines\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AZ: Pima County &#8220;\u201c Opinion &#8211; Electronic-voting dispute requires prompt action<br \/>\nOur view: Integrity of election results, voters&#8217; trust in system are both at stake <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azstarnet.com\/allheadlines\/188785\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Riverside County &#8220;\u201c Democracy Under Glass <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_paul_jac_070625_democracy_under_glas.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Editorial &#8211; State and counties dawdling over replacing touch-screens <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/Opinion\/Editorials\/opnOPN57062507.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Columnist &#8211; State can fix U.S. election woes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/article\/20070625\/COLUMNIST33\/706250539\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Sarasota County &#8211; Court: Protecting trade secrets takes priority over election transparency <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/news.ars\/post\/20070625-florida-appeals-court-says-trade-secret-protection-takes-priority-over-election-transparency.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>GA: Augusta residents using free voter IDs to cash checks<br \/>\nSome receiving several cards <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlineathens.com\/stories\/062307\/news_20070623034.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: New York legislators keep e-voting software in public hands<br \/>\nVoter activists had fought changes to e-voting software escrow laws <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/action\/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#038;taxonomyName=legislation_regulation&#038;articleId=9025618&#038;taxonomyId=70&#038;intsrc=kc_top\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Perspective: Testing of voting machines a never-ending pursuit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohio.com\/mld\/beaconjournal\/news\/state\/17416186.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Wichita County &#8211; Runoff delay blamed on glitch<br \/>\nCounty Clerk Lori Bohannon says early shut down resulted in snag <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesrecordnews.com\/trn\/local_news\/article\/0,1891,TRN_5784_5599476,00.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>UT: Salt Lake County &#8211; SLCO to Revisit Resolution Opposing Voting Machine Legislation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcpw.org\/article\/3821\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>WA: Pierce County &#8220;\u201c Opinion &#8211; Time to abandon obsolete poll-voting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/opinion\/story\/95342.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Netherlands &#8211; Voting machines 5 kg too heavy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nieuwsuitamsterdam.nl\/English\/2007\/06\/voting_machine.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.
