A lot of big Election Integrity news at week-end:

In this typically terrible election story from the New York Times, we nevertheless learn that election night primary numbers from New York State were totally unreliable. In 80 of New York City’s 6,106 election districts, Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including districts in Harlem and other neighborhoods where (in adjacent districts) he won or did quite well.

Comptroller General David Walker, one of the few, strong honest voices in official Washington for election integrity on Friday announced his resignation (Post by Mary Ann Gould). As Comptroller General since 1998, Walker headed the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative agency. (The GAO had been remarkably critical of electronic voting.) Walker leaves to become head of a new foundation that will focus on nagging problems such as skyrocketing government spending and high health care costs. In an August 2007 report, he had warned that the US government was on a “burning platform of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action was not taken soon.”
