"Secretary of state vows to update voting laws, technology"
The Arizona Daily Sun offers this report 
<http://www.azdailysun.com/non_sec/nav_includes/story.cfm?
storyID=122484>, which begins: "Secretary of State Jan Brewer on 
Thursday defended the decision to purchase touch-screen voting 
equipment from the Diebold Corp. Her comments came during and after 
what was supposed to be a routine announcement by the Glendale 
Republican who wants another four years in office. But a small group 
of protestors, apparently mobilized by comments made Thursday morning 
about Diebold by a Phoenix radio talk show host, showed up with hand-
made signs decrying the purchase."
