		<description><![CDATA[One of the benefits of using optical scanners for voting is the requirement for voter marked paper ballots. They are much more reliable and useful than the paper records produced by some DRE (touch screen) voting machines. However, obtaining these benefits depends on the details surrounding the use of optical scanners and paper ballots. To provide true election integrity, Connecticut, like most states, needs to do much better in every dimension.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our opinion, in a race a close as this one, the only satisfactory solution is a complete, manual, adversarial recount. While some of Mr. Green's allegations are cause for concern, even if the recanvass was performed competently, thoroughly, and legally there may be ballots that were not properly classified due to insufficient scrutiny for voter intent and voter identification.  Such differences could easily change the winner is this close a race, disqualifying two votes or reversing just one vote could make a tie. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are several recent stories about the low turnout in the August 10th primary and Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz suggesting the primary date be changed from August to June. This is not a voting integrity issue, yet we place it in the category of "Fighting the last [election] war" (i.e. Changes/reforms that look good when attempting to correct a recent, assumed election problem, without looking at all the consequences.) ]]></description>
