'Daily Voting News' For September 18, 2008
As you will notice the amount of news has been growing as we get closer to November. The media is beginning to look at election related issues; voting systems, voter registrations, vote caging and other schemes aimed at disenfranchising voters. Our phones have been busy with calls from reporters seeking information. Today’s list of important articles has too many that could be “featured” so all I can ask is that you take the time to read them and understand what is happening. There are a lot of National stories as well as stories from Colorado where people are beginning to give their Secretary of State a vote of NO confidence; and Florida where there are clear cases of vote caging; and Washington DC where the city supervisors are investigating to find why their voting machines made by Sequoia failed in the recent primary; and Wisconsin where the state Attorney General is doing all he can to get people removed from the voter rolls. It is important to ensure your voter registration is up-to-date and then it is important that you exercise your right to vote in November.
