'Daily Voting News' For February 08, 2008

The GAO’s report and other reports have done their best to absolve the Sarasota Co. iVotronic DREs from fault in the Congressional District 13 race of 2006. Following their lead a Congressional Panel has recommended that the Christine Jennings challenge to that race be dismissed. Over 18,000 voters were at fault in that race and over 89,000 voters were at fault for undervoting in the state Attorney General race on the same type of machines.

There was an NPR report on New Mexico yesterday that said they were going to do a full recount of all Democratic ballots. That report was incorrect. They are now counting all qualified provisional ballots.

Upcoming primary elections are Louisiana tomorrow and Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia on Tuesday.
