First, tomorrow is election day for state and local positions and issues across most of the nation. As is normal the news for the next few days will be filled with machine failures and election officials and vendors blaming those failures on the voters or poll workers. Of course they neglect to say that if they had didn&#8217;t have the unreliable voting systems they have the voters and poll workers would not have problems. Also, I will be attending the &#8220;Claim Democracy&#8221;\u009d Conference in DC this coming weekend. I will do all I can to keep the flow of news going out to you but I may miss a day or two. I will do all I can to combine days or otherwise get the news out.<\/p>\n<p><em>And with that, today&#8217;s notable voting news stories are linked below as usual&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Editorial &#8211;
