Internal memos from state elections directors, secretaries of state, legal counsel and others, spanning 2001 - 2004.

Each of the following 35 .pdf files contains about 100 pages of letters, emails, and documents. Most is rather mundane, but not all of it. Those of you in Colorado will find hundreds of pieces of correspondence from Donetta Davidson and others.

At times, they call voting integrity advocates "berserkers" and we also see the insecurities of Elections Center's R. Doug Lewis surface, as he writes everyone in sight saying "It won't be pretty," concerned about an upcoming article by Adam Cohen of the New York Times.

There are interesting insights into the planning (and talking points) for inserting Homeland Security into our election process.

Colorado's Donetta Davidson and New York's Tom Wilkey refer to each other in endearing terms.

Again, most are unexciting, but if you are working on litigation you will want to go over these with a fine tooth comb, as they may provide important details. The correspondence also makes reference to many attachments, not provided, but they should all be available through public records requests.
