RE:		CA must replace punch card machines by November '04

Hi Folks,

A federal judge ruled yesterday that the state must replace the punch card voting systems currently being used in nine California counties by November 2004, in time for the next presidential election. More information about this important ruling can be found in several California newspapers today:
