It gives a lot of background about how we got where we are now and who is behind it. <\/p>\n<p>And I have to mention that there is an editorial for a state that I think I may have mentioned only once or twice before in the four-year history of &#8220;Daily Voting News&#8221;\u009d; Oklahoma and any previous mention was not due to problems with their machines. You see, in 1992 Oklahoma bought ES&#038;S Optech III-P Eagle optical-scan machines then immediately kicked ES&#038;S out of the state. Since then Oklahoma has done all ballot printing, software updates, ballot definitions, and maintenance themselves. They don&#8217;t have problems.<\/p>\n<p><em>All of those stories, and many many more today, linked below&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Voter ID case could affect election laws<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/news\/washington\/2008-01-06-court_N.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/news\/washington\/2008-01-06-court_N.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Voter ID Laws Are Set to Face a Crucial Test<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/01\/07\/us\/07identity.html?_r=1&#038;ref=politics&#038;oref=login\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/01\/07\/us\/07identity.html?_r=1&#038;ref=politics&#038;oref=login<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Columnist &#8211;
