'Daily Voting News' For November 06, 2007

 

Today seems to be a typical odd-year election day so far. Problems are reported throughout the nation though the media. Of course no reasons are given for problems except in a few occasions the errors are “human error”; they are never the machines fault or the vendors fault. Marion Co Indiana has been the “poster child” for failed elections and it seems that this election is no different. Also today the DoJ has stepped in and suggested to the courts that New York needs to have help in ing a new voting system and they need to have that system by next year’s elections.
