Testimony on electronic voting in Colorado

Vote Fraud in Dallas, Texas — (Requires Real Player) National Public Radio, All Things Considered, Thursday, July 25, 2002. Wade Goodwyn reports that absentee ballot fraud is tipping elections in Dallas. One city council election was invalidated and two big civic projects squeaked through, thanks to a longstanding practice in the city's minority neighborhoods. Brokers know when absentee ballots are delivered and scoop them out of mailboxes at houses and nursing homes. Prosecutors and legislators says it's fraud that must be stopped.
