Anyone have documentation for this BBV article re:Ohio counties?
This was posted on Friday and so far I haven't heard about it anywhere else. I've tried calling the Secretary of State office and my local Board of Elections but noone will talk to me... "In a seminar". I bet they are hiding out with the protest scheduled for tomorrow.

Plans to replace the punch-card systems with electronic voting machines have fizzled to the point that only four of Ohio's 88 counties will consider the idea for the November election.

The four counties -- Hardin, Lorain, Mercer and Trumbull -- must decide after the state completes a test of the machines, made by North Canton-based Diebold. The secretary of state's office says the tests should be completed by July 19th.

5. Ok thanks.
The operator claims someone will around to take my call tomorrow. So I guess I'll wait and see how this affects Franklin County if at all.

2. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN
I grew up in Hardin county. I don't know why they are bother to test it there. I and about 10 other people voted republican in our county out of about 15,000 registered voters. That was in 1980 when I first had the opportunity to vote. Needless to say I got the hell out of the when I finished college.

That should be for a real accurate test!

:wtf:
:shrug:
