Some readers have responded in defense of &#8220;WVWV.&#8221;\u009d Until yesterday I had not heard of that organization but the media reports that I read led me to believe that voters in NC were very possibly being disenfranchised by robo-calls made by this group. As I make every attempt possible to keep this space non-partisan I did not mention any names. Since yesterday&#8217;s DVN &#8220;WVWV&#8217;s&#8221;\u009d actions seem to have become a partisan issue. I regret the involvement of DVN in this issue, though I do want to condemn the use of robo-calls by any organization no matter whom they are supporting or what their goal. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Sequoia Voting Systems&#8217; Desperate Spokesperson\/Owner Michelle Shafer Trumpets &#8216;Success&#8217; in PA, But Failed to Mention a Thing or Two&#8230;<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5943\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5943<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Dept. of Veterans Affairs Changes Policy on Helping Wounded Soldiers Register to Vote<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/story\/84050\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/story\/84050\/<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: HBO&#8217;S &#8216;Recount&#8217; and What Really Happened in the Florida 2000 Election (Hint: Gore Won)<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5940\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5940<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Editorial &#8211; Voter ID ruling will rank among court&#8217;s worst<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/110\/story\/903494.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/110\/story\/903494.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Voting system creator dies in plane crash<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/florida\/story\/516486.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/florida\/story\/516486.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Peeling the Onion: Can Voting System Testing be Reliable and Extensive?<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_ellen_th_080430_peeling_the_onion_3a_c.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_ellen_th_080430_peeling_the_onion_3a_c.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Opinion &#8220;\u201c A Poll Tax By Another Name<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/dailynews\/opinion\/20080501_A_POLL_TAX_BY_ANOTHER_NAME.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.philly.com\/dailynews\/opinion\/20080501_A_POLL_TAX_BY_ANOTHER_NAME.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Remote Voting&#8211;Who&#8217;s Counting?<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/genera_marta_st_080501_remote_voting__who_s.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/genera_marta_st_080501_remote_voting__who_s.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Movie Reviews: &#8220;Uncounted&#8221; and &#8220;Election Day&#8221;<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/movies\/index.ssf\/2008\/05\/movie_reviews_uncounted_and_el.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/movies\/index.ssf\/2008\/05\/movie_reviews_uncounted_and_el.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: FL&#8217;s Voter Registration Law Halted Until July 2008<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/brennancenter.org\/content\/resource\/fls_voter_registration_law_halted_until_july_2008\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/brennancenter.org\/content\/resource\/fls_voter_registration_law_halted_until_july_2008<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Florida Election Official Involved in More Controversy<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wired.com\/27bstroke6\/2008\/04\/florida-elect-1.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/blog.wired.com\/27bstroke6\/2008\/04\/florida-elect-1.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Osceola County&#8217;s early-voting ballots will be printed on demand<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/local\/orl-ovote0108may01,0,6489156.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/local\/orl-ovote0108may01,0,6489156.story<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MO: Mo.
