1. Nebraska Voter Registration Database Information

]
Nebraska Voter Registration Database Report:
State Regulations and Procedures Implementing HAVA Voter Registration
Requirements
Attached is the Nebraska Voter Registration Information as set forth in
Making the List, Database Matching and Verification Processes for Voter
Registration as published by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York
University on March 24, 2006. This document contains available
information about voter regtistration current as of the date of
publication.
Federal law now requires, as of January 1, 2006, that states create and
maintain statewide databases to serve as the central source of voter
registration information. Citizens' ability to get on the rolls (and
thus their ability to vote and have their votes counted) will now
depend
on the policies and procedures governing the use of these databases in
the voter registration process. Evidence demonstrates that poor policy
and procedure choices could result in the unwarranted
disenfranchisement
of millions of eligible citizens attempting to register to vote. The
new
statewide databases, and their role in the voter registration process,
are poorly understood, but extremely consequential.
This report, issued just as the state databases begin to come online,
presents the first comprehensive catalog of the widely varying state
database practices governing how (and in some cases, whether)
individuals seeking to register will be placed on the voter rolls.
The report covers the state's voter registration process, from the
application form up through Election Day - including the intake of
registration forms, the manner in which information from the forms may
be matched to other government lists, the consequences of the match
process, and any opportunity to correct errors. Each variation at each
step of the process has tangible consequences for voters seeking to
register and vote in 2006 and beyond.

North Dakota Voter Registration Database Report:
State Regulations and Procedures Implementing HAVA Voter Registration
Requirements
Attached under the "Attachment" link at the foot of this article, is
the North Dakota Voter Registration Information as set forth in Making
the List, Database Matching and Verification Processes for Voter
Registration, published by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York
University on March 24, 2006. This document contains available
information about voter regtistration current as of the date of
publication.
North Dakota's registration regulations couldn't be simpler: North
Dakota does not register voters. It is the only state in the union that
does not.
Apparently, since North Dakota does not practice voter registration,
there is no requirement to assemble the centralized statewide voter
registration base required by HAVA of all other states that do have
voter registration systems.
Federal law now requires, as of January 1, 2006, that states create and
maintain statewide databases to serve as the central source of voter
registration information. Citizens' ability to get on the rolls (and
thus their ability to vote and have their votes counted) will now

the voter registration process.
Evidence demonstrates that poor policy and procedure choices could
result in the unwarranted disenfranchisement of millions of eligible
citizens attempting to register to vote. The new statewide databases,
and their role in the voter registration process, are poorly
understood,
but extremely consequential.
The "Making the List" report, issued just as the state databases begin
to come online, presents the first comprehensive catalog of the widely
varying state database practices governing how (and in some cases,
whether) individuals seeking to register will be placed on the voter
rolls.

5. LibertyVote Still Suing to Force DREs on NY State
Published Book page by Dan Ashby

From Bo Lipari's blog, 3/22/08:
http://www.nyvv.org/boblog/2008/03/22/the-law-litigation-and-libertyvote...
[100]
Vendor to sue NY again to allow DREs
I told you the DRE vendors are like zombies [101], and will never, ever
stop trying to force DRE machines on New York
State voters. Once again, LibertyVote and their Dutch partner Nedap are
preparing to go to Court to challenge county purchases for accessible
paper ballot systems, and to overturn New York State's right to test
our voting machines to the strict standards we worked so hard to
achieve.
