It is time that the national organizations and their supporters change their strategies to a state-by-state strategy. We are NOT going to get any legislation through congress this year, and very possibly not next year. We can make a difference at the state level though. While many have concentrated on spending their time and money in Washington DC lobbying for the various bills that have come up, activists in Tennessee, New York, New Mexico, Florida, and other states and many counties have been successful in new laws being passed and DREs being replaced. Rather than spend the time and money in Washington DC, we need to spend it in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, Annapolis Maryland, and Atlanta Georgia&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National: Editorial &#8211; Check That Vote<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/07\/16\/opinion\/16wed1.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/07\/16\/opinion\/16wed1.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: House GOPers Defeat Back-up Paper Ballot Bill<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/bloggers\/steven\/?ses=a5439371f861701d1f5ab08f762bda98\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/bloggers\/steven\/?ses=a5439371f861701d1f5ab08f762bda98<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AL: Autauga County &#8211; Thieves take copper wire, but voting goes on<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montgomeryadvertiser.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080715\/NEWS\/80715043\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.montgomeryadvertiser.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080715\/NEWS\/80715043<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AL: Selma &#8211; Validity of upcoming election challenged<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.selmatimesjournal.com\/news\/2008\/jul\/16\/validity-upcoming-election-challenged\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.selmatimesjournal.com\/news\/2008\/jul\/16\/validity-upcoming-election-challenged\/<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AZ: Yavapai County &#8211; County employees to help during elections<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/prescottdailycourier.com\/main.asp?SectionID=1&#038;SubSectionID=1&#038;ArticleID=57225&#038;TM=4183.241\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/prescottdailycourier.com\/main.asp?SectionID=1&#038;SubSectionID=1&#038;ArticleID=57225&#038;TM=4183.241<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Denver &#8211; It&#8217;s Back To Paper Ballots, Precincts For This Year&#8217;s Elections<br \/>\nDenver Pulls Plug On Electronic Voting Machines<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedenverchannel.com\/politics\/16893566\/detail.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.thedenverchannel.com\/politics\/16893566\/detail.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: OK voter drives at VA facilities<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenwichtime.com\/ci_9893975\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.greenwichtime.com\/ci_9893975<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: The &#8220;He Did It \/ She Did It&#8221; Business Model for Elections<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/The--He-Did-It---She-Did-I-by-Lani-Massey-Brown-080714-518.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/The&#8211;He-Did-It&#8212;She-Did-I-by-Lani-Massey-Brown-080714-518.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>GA: Primary Runoffs Come At A Premium Price<br \/>\nAll polling centers in the state must be open during primary runoffs, and that will take a lot of money<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wjbf.com\/midatlantic\/jbf\/news_index.apx.-content-articles-JBF-2008-07-16-0055.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.wjbf.com\/midatlantic\/jbf\/news_index.apx.-content-articles-JBF-2008-07-16-0055.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>IA: Creating Credibility: 8 Years Later, There&#8217;s Still No Consensus on Ensuring Integrity in Elections<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcreader.com\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=12935&#038;Itemid=42\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.rcreader.com\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=12935&#038;Itemid=42<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>IA: Webster County auditor: Election changes coming<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.messengernews.net\/page\/content.detail\/id\/507428.html?nav=5010\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.messengernews.net\/page\/content.detail\/id\/507428.html?nav=5010<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NH: Be wary of holes in the polls<br \/>\nA frightening look back at the New Hampshire primary earlier this year&#8230;<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nolanchart.com\/article4258.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.nolanchart.com\/article4258.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Eyes Wide Open: The Real Situation in New York<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Eyes-Wide-Open--The-Real-S-by-Wanda-Warren-Berry-080716-464.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Eyes-Wide-Open&#8211;The-Real-S-by-Wanda-Warren-Berry-080716-464.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Cuyahoga County &#8211; Ohio county fires back at voting machine company<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdtn.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=8687777\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.wdtn.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=8687777<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>PA: Center County &#8211; Having paper trail to cost county<br \/>\nLeased machines would result in $1.8 million bill<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centredaily.com\/news\/local\/story\/717091.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.centredaily.com\/news\/local\/story\/717091.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>**&#8221;Daily Voting News&#8221; is meant as a comprehensive listing of reports each day concerning issues related to election and voting news around the country regardless of quality or political slant.
