‘Daily Voting News’ For August 08, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

Missing candidate names seems to be one of the stand-out problems for today. A candidate for Gov. in Connecticut has reports that his name was missing from at least one machine. That machine was removed from service. It is also reported that Lieberman’s name was missing on the same machine. In Georgia, McKinney voters are reporting that her name is missing from some ballots. / Voters in Connecticut are still using their old lever machines at the polls. / The first head has fallen in Cuyahoga Co. Ohio as the Ballot Manager has resigned under fire….

      Dredd: Unfortunately, at the moment I have nothing worth posting on the Lamont-Lieberman race. That’s why there’s no thread about it.

      There are a million things going on every day that we don’t mention here. What can I do about it? I’m just one guy — Brad’s away, in case you hadn’t noticed — and I can only do so much.

      Today I haven’t been able to blog as much as I would have liked, and I have posted the news-worthiest things I have been able to get my hands on. If you have something to contribute about the Lamont-Lieberman race, by all means do so!

      But please don’t leave it to me to do it all — I’m swamped already ;-(

      Anyone who has watched elections since ’00 and ’04 never has much confidence in results because of last minute strangeness.

      Election officials should be ashamed of themselves for letting it go so far down that road.
