'Daily Voting News' For June 9, 2008

 

State and local primary elections are still ongoing around the country. Tomorrow we have elections in South Carolina, North Dakota, Virginia and Maine with early voting beginning for the Utah primary. &&& Due directly to the failure of the voting system in Faulkner Co Arkansas to accurately tabulate votes citizens will have a ‘town hall’ meeting  in Conway to discuss the failures of the system and what steps they can take to force the county and state to fix the system. One suggestion: a formal HAVA complaint for violation of Section 301(a)(5). (See HAVA Section 402(a)(2))
