She has also suggested that the county actually count many of those ballots where they know the voter intent. When \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Decline To State\u00e2\u20ac\u009d voters went to the polls and asked for a ballot to vote either American Independent or Democratic the poll workers were supposed to annotate the party (AI or DEM) in the poll book. If all of the DTS voters at a polling site asked to vote DEM then all of those ballots can be counted because the voter intent is clearly known. Only when an AI voter is thrown into the mix does the count become more difficult&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: The Magic Of America<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_james_st_080215_the_magic_of_america.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_james_st_080215_the_magic_of_america.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Los Angeles County \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Letter From Bowen To Logan Re: Uncounted DTS Ballots<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/electionlawblog.org\/archives\/Mr%20%20Logan%20021408.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/electionlawblog.org\/archives\/Mr%20%20Logan%20021408.pdf<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Solano County &#8211; Backlog of ballots in Solano<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thereporter.com\/news\/ci_8270752\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.thereporter.com\/news\/ci_8270752<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Mesa County &#8211; Both sides agree to disagree in voting machine debacle<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/kjct8.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=7875206\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/kjct8.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=7875206<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>GA: More than 400 voters lacked photo IDs in Feb. 5 primary<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ledger-enquirer.com\/251\/story\/248417.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.ledger-enquirer.com\/251\/story\/248417.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MA: Gloucester &#8211; City clerk ponders ways to hold elections more cheaply, easily<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wickedlocal.com\/gloucester\/homepage\/x230382437\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.wickedlocal.com\/gloucester\/homepage\/x230382437<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MD: Fewer than 10,000 voted in extra 90 minutes<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/news\/local\/bal-md.ballots15feb15,0,3237763.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/news\/local\/bal-md.ballots15feb15,0,3237763.story<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: NY court adds new voting machine, but counties aren&#8217;t buying<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsday.com\/news\/local\/wire\/newyork\/ny-bc-ny--votingmachines0215feb15,0,853302.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.newsday.com\/news\/local\/wire\/newyork\/ny-bc-ny&#8211;votingmachines0215feb15,0,853302.story<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Judge Rules Ohio Curbs on Voter Registration Drives Unenforceable<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/thejournal.epluribusmedia.net\/index.php\/state-news\/ohio-news\/34-ohio-news\/56-ohio-curbs-on-voter-registration-drive-unenforcable\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/thejournal.epluribusmedia.net\/index.php\/state-news\/ohio-news\/34-ohio-news\/56-ohio-curbs-on-voter-registration-drive-unenforcable<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Coshocton County &#8211; State: Paper ballots must be available<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coshoctontribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080215\/NEWS01\/802150303\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.coshoctontribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080215\/NEWS01\/802150303<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Lucas County to reprint, remail 6,500 faulty absentee ballots<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/toledoblade.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080215\/NEWS33\/802150322\/-1\/NEWS\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/toledoblade.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20080215\/NEWS33\/802150322\/-1\/NEWS<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Union County &#8211; County argues it should not have to provide paper ballots<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnewsj.com\/main.asp?SectionID=49&#038;SubSectionID=156&#038;ArticleID=163051&#038;TM=31152.19\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.wnewsj.com\/main.asp?SectionID=49&#038;SubSectionID=156&#038;ArticleID=163051&#038;TM=31152.19<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: Wood County &#8211; Weighing the options<br \/>\nState election officials deem new Wood County voting machines vulnerable to tampering, suggest purchasing new optical scanning systems<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/media.www.bgnews.com\/media\/storage\/paper883\/news\/2008\/02\/15\/Local\/Weighing.The.Options-3212782.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/media.www.bgnews.com\/media\/storage\/paper883\/news\/2008\/02\/15\/Local\/Weighing.The.Options-3212782.shtml<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TN: Tennessee one step closer to voter verifiable voting machines<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/southernstudies.org\/facingsouth\/2008\/02\/tennessee-one-step-closer-to-voter_14.asp\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/southernstudies.org\/facingsouth\/2008\/02\/tennessee-one-step-closer-to-voter_14.asp<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Waller County \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Opinion &#8211; Fighting Voter Suppression in Texas<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/thenation\/20080215\/cm_thenation\/45285748\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/thenation\/20080215\/cm_thenation\/45285748<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Washington DC: D.C.
