'Daily Voting News' For March 14, 2008

 

It has been pointed out to me that many states allow you to check your voter registration on-line. Here ( http://www.fvap.gov/vao/stregissites.html ) is a list of those states with links. Again we encourage every voter to ensure they are still registered to vote and that their registration is correct in all regards.

 

It appears that Colorado is getting closer and closer to a paper-ballot election this November. One of the driving forces is a concern that the state will, again, face a law suit from the voters if they don’t change to paper ballots. The Governor is concerned enough about making the change that he has doubled the amount of funds that can be spent to make the conversion in the state.
