The article discusses the changes that are being made in election technology; changes to the good. There will be more paper ballots and less touch-screens used in the coming Nov. election when compared to the last couple national elections. The state Senate Majority Leader is quoted as saying this about the election integrity community, &#8220;I believe the group has gotten larger. It&#8217;s become more mainstream and people are paying more attention to them. They are an entity that&#8217;s at the table and has a voice that is listened to&#8221;\u009d. Meanwhile the Secretary of State told the newspaper, &#8220;&#8221;I think they have a fundamental belief that anything electronic, as it relates to voting, is evil and undermines our political system. They live in a world of conspiracy theories and are highly motivated. No matter what I do, so long as it leaves some form of electronic voting intact, it will be wrong by their standards&#8221;\u009d. I&#8217;ll leave it to the reader to make up their mind who is correct&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Featured Article: Colorado: E-voting opponents leave mark<br \/>\nBy lawsuits and law, paper ballots regaining ground<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockymountainnews.com\/news\/2008\/jun\/24\/e-voting-opponents-leave-mark\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.rockymountainnews.com\/news\/2008\/jun\/24\/e-voting-opponents-leave-mark\/<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: VVSG Update: Possible Next Steps by the Election Assistance Commission <br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/usacm.acm.org\/usacm\/weblog\/index.php?p=617\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/usacm.acm.org\/usacm\/weblog\/index.php?p=617<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Another Ineffective e-Voting Reform Bill that Solves Nothing<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Now-the-Senate-is-Going-to-by-Jerry-Lobdill-080623-998.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Now-the-Senate-is-Going-to-by-Jerry-Lobdill-080623-998.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Count Every Vote: Sampling v.
