The conference was a combination of Election Reformers of all types plus elected officials and just interested citizens. <\/p>\n<p> Today&#8217;s DVN is a mixture of today&#8217;s news and some selected from the weekend&#8217;s news. Included in this are three articles from yesterday&#8217;s Daytona Beach News-Journal. When you read these articles ask yourself why the EAC would refuse to put out a warning. Diebold admits to the problem. Diebold has also as much as said they won&#8217;t warn other customers. The EAC spokesperson explains all that the EAC has done but only makes excuses as to why they feel they can turn their backs on a problem with 25,000 voting machines as if it will just go away. We should all let Ms. Layson and the EAC know our displeasure with this &#8220;head buried in the sand&#8221;\u009d attitude. <\/p>\n<p> There were more ballots counted in East Haven Connecticut than voters who went to the polls. A hand-recount in a close mayoral election found a discrepancy between the machine total and the recount total. The good thing is this is the first election in which the state has used optical-scan so they have paper ballots to hand-count. <\/p>\n<p> True to their ways, ES&#038;S is turning the screws on New Mexico counties in order to get every tax-payer dollar from them&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: 10 Questions<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whytuesday.org\/vote\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.whytuesday.org\/vote<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Info on voting flaws not shared<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD03111207.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD03111207.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: EAC spokeswoman answers questions about agency<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD04111207.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD04111207.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Diebold official answers questions about voting machines<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD05111207.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.news-journalonline.com\/NewsJournalOnline\/News\/Headlines\/frtHEAD05111207.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: U.S. Election Assistance Commission Working Hard to Fail and Succeeding at It!<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5292\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5292<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Columnist &#8211; Restoring Confidence in the Balloting Process<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/11\/12\/us\/politics\/13web-seelye.html?_r=2&#038;oref=slogin&#038;oref=slogin\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/11\/12\/us\/politics\/13web-seelye.html?_r=2&#038;oref=slogin&#038;oref=slogin<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Opinion &#8211; Voting rights back on Justice&#8217;s radar<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/opinion\/editorials\/story\/305699.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/opinion\/editorials\/story\/305699.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Fifty states face voting machine lawsuits; &#8220;Uncounted&#8221;\u009d documents DRE issues<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarksvilleonline.com\/2007\/11\/13\/fifty-states-face-voting-machine-lawsuits-uncounted-documents-dre-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.clarksvilleonline.com\/2007\/11\/13\/fifty-states-face-voting-machine-lawsuits-uncounted-documents-dre-issues\/<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Rep.
