Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org Today's new includes more and varied articles on HR-811, including an editorial against the use of DREs from the NYTimes. It appears that the bill will go back to the Rules Committee for another shot at a decision from that body. If it clears the Rules Committee in some form it will go to the floor. What is still unknown is if and how amendments will be handled. There is also more from the New Jersey court decision. Also reported is that the Ohio SOS has named the firms who will be involved in the state's attempt to copy California's "Top-To-Bottom" Review. The problem is that one of the 'firms' who will be involved is a firm that is also an Independent Test Authority and that probably tested some of the voting systems used in the state. That fact is a real "head scratcher". Another county has stepped up and decided that DREs are garbage and they will be reverting back to optical-scan. Good decision Taylor Co West Virginia....
