Count Every Vote
75,000 Voter Registration Cards
Found in Trash Bin in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Georgia Secretary of State's office has begun
an investigation into who threw more than 75,000 Fulton County
voter registration cards into a trash bin.
The cards contained a voter's full name, address and Social
Security number. The office says a random sampling showed many of
the cards were for active voters.
In a statement, Secretary of State Karen Handel said the finding
"represents a significant and serious breach of the personal
information of Fulton County voters and an outrageous violation of
the trust and integrity of Fulton County's elections."
After getting a call from a resident, officials with Handel's
office found more than 30 boxes of voter registration application
cards, precinct cards and other documents Monday in a construction
trash bin at Atlanta Technical College in southwest Atlanta.
Handel has called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the
county solicitor general's office to investigate and says she will
audit the county elections office.
Handel says she also has asked the County Commission to warn voters
that their personal information may have been exposed.

Ohio County Voting Head Steps Down

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Republican chairman of the embattled Cuyahoga
County elections board resigned Wednesday, days before he was to
face a removal hearing.
Ohio Republican Party leader Robert Bennett has been under pressure
from Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to step down. Brunner, a
Democrat, ordered the board's members to resign or be fired last
month. A removal hearing for Bennett was set for Monday.
``I recognize that continuing to serve on the board with the
current adverse relationship with the Secretary of State was not in
the public interest and she came to understand that, while there
had been problems in the past, there was no wrongdoing by the
board,'' Bennett said in a statement.
Brunner said she was not absolving the board, but agreed to dismiss
the complaint she had filed against Bennett after he initially
refused to resign. Three other board members resigned last month.
``This saves the community a rehashing of many of the problems it's
dealt with up to this point and it allows the board to move on in a
very positive way,'' she said.
Brunner has accused the panel of shoddy work, including elections
glitches and cost problems. The county has experienced election
problems, including improperly trained poll workers and a hand
count of 18,000 absentee ballots that delayed the May 2006 primary
results for days.
Bennett had argued that things were improving and that last
November's election went well in Cuyahoga, which includes Cleveland
and has more than 1 million registered voters among a population of
1.3 million.
Brunner is in the process of appointing the two Democrats and two
Republicans on the board.
