Today
is a mixed bag of important news items. One mobile messaging
company is predicting that we will be voting via our cell
phones, twitter, etc. in just a couple years. There is more
from California regarding the decertification of
Premier/Diebold 1.18.19, as system that would not be used
again anyway. There is also some news on yesterday’s
election in New York state that found the two candidates
with but 25 votes separating them. This election will
clearly end up in court just as the Minnesota Senatorial
race has. There are also a few editorials from newspapers in
states that are considering VoterID.
I will be taking a
bit of a hiatus until Sunday evening or Monday while I
attend a conference. Enjoy the weekend....
