Every one of those ballots that can be counted must be counted. The Courage Campaign has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.couragecampaign.org\/page\/s\/counteveryvote \">petition<\/a> to Acting ROV Dean Logan telling him to count all of the &#8220;Decline To State&#8221;\u009d votes possible. <\/p>\n<p> The news from the &#8220;Potomac Primaries&#8221;\u009d has been very quiet. The biggest problems seem to have been e-pollbooks that had voters who were registered as either Democrat or Republican listed as unaffiliated. This clearly kept many voters from being able to vote. The other huge problem was the reports from all over the area about polling places running out of ballots early. This caused lines and many people simply walked away without voting.<\/p>\n<p><em>Those stories, and all of the other notable voting news items today, linked below as usual&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CA: Los Angeles County &#8211; &#8216;Bubble&#8217; least of poll workers&#8217; troubles<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pasadenastarnews.com\/ci_8243842\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.pasadenastarnews.com\/ci_8243842<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Los Angeles County &#8211; L.A.
