'Daily Voting News' For November 11, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Late this afternoon came an announcement from Washington DC that they have, again, found voting counting/reporting
anomalies in the Sequoia voting system. There is not a lot to report yet except that there will be a public hearing on
Friday.
The groups who comprised the 1-866-OUR-VOTE coalition for this election have compiled their data and put it on-line for
all to see. If you think the stories about long lines were wide-spread or even baseless, or if you think voting machines
worked better than they had in the past, or if you think provisional ballot usage was not broken then you might want to
look at their table of incident types and states here: ...
