'Daily Voting News' For April 15, 2008

 

Today the House GOP members managed to block Congressman Rush Holt’s emergency voting bill with a 239 – 178 vote; 2/3 majority was required for passage. It is unknown at this time what the next move will be. Maybe an all-out ban on DREs? The bill would get no where but it would bring the Election Integrity Community back together. &&& Today is “Match Day” for Sequoia. Can they satisfy Smartmatic with a matching offer that will save themselves from Hart Intercivic? And, if they do will they have enough funds left to continue paying their contracts and employees? http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5885
