‘Daily Voting News’ For June 23 and 24 and 25, 2007

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Today finds what amounts to three days worth of opinions, columns and editorials. Some voters in Georgia are using their state mandated voter ID cards for more than just voting. It seems that it has become a free piece of identification for cashing checks and some voters have more than one of the cards. Over half of the counties in Utah have passed resolutions against HR-811. They incorrectly state that the bill will cost the counties millions. In response to this at least one local activist incorrectly states that passage of HR-811 will save the county money by it’s use of a paper-based voting system. Nothing in the bill will force the county to use anything but voting machines with a different voter verified paper record printer. …

      I did not notice anything in the bill that outlaws paper ballot systems that do not use any electronic machines.

      Its an elephant, not a palm tree.

      I noticed that a Florida court’s opinion could be changed by HR 811:

      A Florida appeals court has upheld a lower court decision that denies requests for an independent source code audit of voting machines used by Florida’s 13th district, which suffered election irregularities in a highly controversial congressional race. The appeals court has chosen to support a lower court decision which asserts that forcing voting machine maker Election Systems and Software (ES&S) to provide source code access to independent security auditors would amount to “gutting the protections afforded those who own trade secrets.”
