The Dallas Morning News offers this
must-read article.
A.P. offers this
report, which begins: "A civil-liberties group sued two state
agencies yesterday, asking a judge to prevent three companies from
selling voting equipment because it contends that officials failed to
properly review and assemble software code from their machines."
The St. Petersburg Times offers this
editorial, which begins: "In choosing a new secretary of state,
Gov. Jeb Bush picked a woman with impressive credentials in every
aspect of the job except the most important one: overseeing fair and
accurate elections."
Edward Lazarus has written Why Judge
Alito's View on "One Person, One Vote" May Be Even More Important than
His View on Roe v. Wade for Findlaw. There is much in here with
which I disagree. My own views were expressed last week in this
Findlaw column.
You can find the decision in Pocatello Educ. Ass'n v. Heideman, D.
Idaho, No. CV-03-0256-E-BLW, 11/23/05 here.
Thanks to Steven Sholk for the pointer.
