“How much does it cost to fix an election?†VotersUnite.Org has just received copies of a great new novel by Mark Coggins, mystery writer and Shamus and Barry award-nominated author of the August Riordan series. We were honored to have been asked to review the book a few months ago and our review included the following opinion; “What could be better than a fun fiction about the real dangers of electronic voting? Coggins shows us that elections can be hacked and the cover-up can be murder.†The book is gripping and laugh-out-loud funny in places and it is another example of the fact that election integrity is no longer conspiracy theory from “tin-foil hats.†Read more about the book at VotersUnite.Org and help us out with a $50 or more donation and get a copy of the book as a premium. You help VotersUnite continue our valuable work and you get a great book.

Finally one Pennsylvania county has told Advanced Voting Solutions to expect a lawsuit to be filed against them for breach of contract. Maybe the other two AVS counties will join in?
That, and links to all the rest of today’s voting news stories, follow below as usual…
