Most of the counties use Diebold\/Premier TSx machines with a vvpat. One county recently decided to remove the vvpat printers because they caused too many problems on election day. Another good reason to scrap DREs, even when they have vvpat printers. <\/p>\n<p> There has been a lot of discussion about Florida&#8217;s primary. Is it going to happen or not? One thing I have seen in the Florida papers that seems to have been missed by the national press is that all of the Florida counties that used to use DREs no longer have those machines, or are getting rid of them as we speak. They are bringing in optical scan but they have all said it would be nearly impossible for them to conduct a primary election in June. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Opinion &#8211; Voting security needed now!<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/dailynews\/opinion\/20080310_Voting_security_needed_now_.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.philly.com\/dailynews\/opinion\/20080310_Voting_security_needed_now_.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Editorial &#8211; Clean Up Our Elections<br \/>\nA nation that proclaims itself to be the best democracy on Earth must do a better job in running elections.<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theday.com\/re.aspx?re=cbea6b66-48e5-49b8-84bc-5e8154ddfbb5\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.theday.com\/re.aspx?re=cbea6b66-48e5-49b8-84bc-5e8154ddfbb5<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Debugging Election Codes<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/innovations.coe.berkeley.edu\/vol2-issue3-mar08\/electioncodes\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/innovations.coe.berkeley.edu\/vol2-issue3-mar08\/electioncodes<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: &#8220;Myth&#8221; of Voter Fraud Focus of Senate Hearing<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/baltimorechronicle.com\/2008\/031008Leopold.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/baltimorechronicle.com\/2008\/031008Leopold.shtml<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: &#8216;Myth of Voter Fraud&#8217; Hearings to be Held This Week in Senate<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5783\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5783<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Will your vote count?<br \/>\nStruggles continue with voting reform years after hanging chads of 2000<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thonline.com\/article.cfm?id=193762\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.thonline.com\/article.cfm?id=193762<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Illegal Vote Counts in Riverside County now on Video &#8211; testimony before CA legislature<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/genera_tom_cour_080309_illegal_vote_counts_.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/genera_tom_cour_080309_illegal_vote_counts_.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Los Angeles County &#8211; VIDEO: Brad Friedman and Other Election Integrity Advocates Speak At Historic California Hearing On Voting Problems<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5782\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5782<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Columnist &#8220;\u201c Monday Morning Special<br \/>\nMore help on the way for improved elections<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chieftain.com\/life\/1205129213\/1\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.chieftain.com\/life\/1205129213\/1<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Fla.
