Daily Voting News For October 10, 2006
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Sequoia has done a good job in an attempt to misrepresent the facts in the Brennan Report. They seem to have twisted the
facts in order to deceive potential customers in New York. Read more in the NY section / "There is something you can do
NOW, even before the election starts. Verified Voting's Election Transparency Project is enlisting members of the public
(and especially organized groups) to help find out what really goes on in our elections. Our aim is to document
everything we can, so that we actually know what happened after election day. The project has six questionnaires to
guide you through the observation process. You can choose one of them or all of them. You can even do them if you are
involved in other election observation projects, such as the Election Protection Coalition or Pollworkers for Democracy
(consult Google for more information on these projects)." For more information see directly below....
