Daily Voting News For February 24 And 25, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
While activist eyes will be watching Ohio next Tuesday I am going to be watching Texas. The March 4 primary is one week

prepared. El Paso Co. is leasing 100 voting machines to help. Fort Bend Co is leasing 200 machines from Dent Co. to get
them through the primary. Readers will recall that Fort Bend is the county that recently accepted the resignation of
their election director because he warned that there would be long lines and he wanted to solve the problem with paper
ballots. Now the county is leasing paperless voting machines in hopes of keeping the lines short....
