Today I went to vote in the Ohio primaries. When the election official found my name in the voter registration book, there was "Voter ID Required" in the bottom portion of the space where I was to sign my name. He said that after I voted, there was something I had to sign. He also, said not to worry, it's not a big deal, there were portions of the form he would fill out while I was at the voting machine. I noticed that no one else on the page was required to show an ID, and I asked him why I was being singled out to show an ID. He said he didn't know, that this was the first time he saw something like this, and that the Fairfield County BOE had just given it to him.

When I was done voting, I returned my card. The guy handed me a blue piece of paper. The contents of the paper are below the fold. Read More

The Columbus Dispatch, on today's editorial page, is urging Ohio voters to vote no on issues 2-5. The editorial can be viewed at http://www.columbusdispatch.com/...

I suppose this should not come as a complete surprise, as the Columbus Disgrace, er, Dispatch has traditionally been sympathetic to the Republican establishment in Ohio. But this is shameful nevertheless. Please bombard them with pro-RON LTEs!

When I went to the local library this afternoon, there was a Diebold machine and a woman with the Fairfield Board of Elections in the lobby inviting patrons to try out the system in order to learn how to use it before November 8th. Of course I wanted to try out the machine, but I also wanted to ask the woman some questions, too.

Hello,

I live in Fairfield county, Ohio. I was reading my local paper today and found out that my district with be implementing Diebold voting machines in time for the November 8 elections. I am opposed to the use of these machines because, AFAIK, they do not generate any sort of voter paper trail. I have other problems with them as well, but this is my primary concern.

I would like to know if there is anything I can do to prevent these machines from being used in my district (and elsewhere in Ohio, if possible). I realize it may be too late for the upcoming election in November, but this is something I hope to pursue over the long haul. I am a novice when it comes to this sort of political activity, btw, so I really don't know where to start. Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Thank you!
