A federal mandate to replace punch-card voting
machines with electronic devices has fizzled to the point that only
four of Ohio's 88 counties will consider the idea for the Nov. 2
election, the secretary of state's office said Thursday. The four
counties - Hardin, Lorain, Mercer and Trumbull - must decide after the

Diebold Inc. [more]
The head of Diebold is
a fundraiser for Bush. Last August he stated that he was "committed to
helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year." [more]
