‘Daily Voting News’ For July 8 and 9, 2007

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Another election official has jumped into the revolving door and joined the vendors. In this case ex-Commissioner and Chairman of the EAC Paul DeGregorio has become COO of an Internet voting software company, Everyone Counts.

Also charging that Congressman Rush Holt’s (D-NJ) Election Reform bill (HR 811) “does not address the concerns that Americans have, to do something about electronic voting,” Ohio’s Rep. Dennis Kucinich reiterated his withdrawal of support for the controversial legislation last Friday. In an interview on the Peter B. Collins show, the Democratic presidential candidate confirmed earlier reports that he intended to drop his co-sponsorship of the bill in favor of requiring paper ballots for American elections. HR 811, as currently written, fails to ban dangerous electronic touch-screen (DRE) voting systems.
