New
Hampshire will now conduct a full recount of all ballots
cast in the primary. This, after formal requests were made
by Dennis Kucinich and Republican candidate Albert Howard.
Solano Co California Supervisor Barbara Kondylis has
requested that the rest of the Board of Supervisors discuss
the fact that in last November's election in the county
1,321 more votes were counted on their ES&S voting machines
than voters who voted. The Chair and immediate past-vice
Chair, who set the boards meeting agenda, have refused to
allow the Supervisor's concerns to be heard. She has now
sent an open-letter to the citizens of the county in hopes
they will pressure the Chairman to put this issue on the
boards next meeting agenda.
According to reports from
Colorado, the state legislature has "A bill to be introduced
today would offer greater latitude in recertifying machines
deemed subpar". So, the machines are deemed to be "subpar"
when being certified by present standards. In an upside down
world, it only makes sense to lower the standards to accept
those "subpar" systems. Simply unbelievable. The Secretary
of State and all complicit state legislators need to be
recalled and replaced with people who will protect the
voters of the state....
