'Daily Voting News' For June 7, 2006
Yesterday we had primary elections in eight states, yet all problems have not been settled in states that had primaries
even a month ago. There are still residual problems being reported in Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. How are these
being addressed by the EAC? They are being ignored as the state's problems. /Underfunded candidates who did no
campaigning won in the first count of absentee ballots in one Iowa county on ES Optical-scan machines. The county is hand counting those ballots./There were many reports of problems throughout the
state of California yesterday. One can only guess that there were at least as many unreported problems./ Leflore Co.,
Mississippi had ballot programming problems even though a Diebold tech had worked on their machines for a month/...
