'Daily Voting News' For May 16, 2008

 

Some county election officials in Ohio are pushing to continue using only central-count optical scan. The ACLU withdrew a suit against Cuyahoga Co because the county promised to go to precinct-count optical scan. Now the county wants to renege on that deal. &&& It appears that Tennessee will join the paper-age. Newly passed legislation requires all voting machines to be paper based, i.e. optical scan, beginning in 2010. &&& The Missouri legislature was unable to pass any Voter ID legislation today, the end of their legislative session.
