Daily Voting News For June 12, 2006
Compiled by John Gideon
Utah's chief election's spokesman, Joe Demma, went to Mississippi to watch their elections because the two states are
using the same voting machines, Diebold TSx. Demma will probably not be welcome in Mississippi again as he reported that

to the point of absurdity" / Webb County, Texas (Laredo) is now considering a law-suit against ES for failure to meet their contractual duties. / Emery County's Bruce Funk is stunned by San Diego County procedures
allowing Diebold voting machines to be sent home with poll workers prior to last Tuesday's special run-off election for
the U.S. House...
