Daily Voting News For July 18, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Today is one of those days where there are many big stories. The list of Secretary of States who have joined together to
demand that Veterans Administration facilities be opened to allow non-partisan voter registration drives has risen to
19. Meanwhile, Indiana’s Secretary of State, Todd Rokita, has shown that he does not care about the veterans in Indiana
as he has sent a letter to the Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs to express his support for the
disenfranchising rules.
Also, a whistleblower has stepped forward and stated that a patch was installed in two Georgia counties in 2002 before
the Governor and Senatorial elections. He says, in part, that a “computer patch was installed in person by Diebold CEO
Bob Urosevich, who flew in from Texas and applied it in just two counties, DeKalb and Fulton, both Democratic
strongholds. The source states that Cox [then Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox] was not privy to these changes until
after the election and that she became particularly concerned over the patch being installed in just those two
counties.”
The Georgia news stems from a press conference held in Ohio where attorneys announced that they were filing documents
with the courts to lift a stay on the 2004 Election fraud case. This case, according to the attorneys, has the potential
to take down some very powerful people in this country....
