Daily Voting News For September 11, 2006
Texas' voter database, required by federal law to be in effect on 1 Jan. 2006 will not be ready this year and the
state's best estimate is now 1 Jan. 2007. / VVPAT problems? Here's a good solution from Ken Blackwell's office. If the
VVPAT printer jams, runs out of paper or otherwise destroys the ballot; just run a new tape from the memory card and use
that. It doesn't matter what state law says or that it's not 'voter verified'. / Tomorrow we have primary elections in
Arizona, Delaware, Washington DC, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
