'Daily Voting News' For March 26, 2009

 

Today’s ‘Featured’ article begins, “Florida’s Department of State is proposing a few strategically placed words that would gut Florida Statute 104.29, a brief but powerful law that currently offers Florida citizens their greatest protection for election observation. The altered language is buried on page 61 of a 68-page elections bill1 still in draft form, which, as soon as it is finalized, will be presented to the State Legislature for approval.

 

Also ‘Featured’ are two press releases from Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney’s website with regards to new legislation that will help military and overseas voters.

 

Correction: In this space yesterday I inferred that Humboldt Co had made the decision to move from Premier/Diebold to another vendor based on the problems encountered by the county in the Nov. 2008 elections.  In fact the decision to change vendors had been made before that election.
