The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, starting in 1920, has published a booklet containing the vote for each candidate for Congress. If the election is also a presidential election year, the booklet includes presidential returns also.

The Clerk has finally published the 2006 booklet. It is on the web here. The Clerk usually makes some errors. This time, the Clerk’s book omits the U.S. Senate vote for the Mountain Party (8,474 votes for Jesse Johnson).

UPDATE: thanks to the commentors below, who have found additional errors. Anyone who wishes to communicate directly with the person responsible for the book may do so, by telephoning 202-225-7000 and asking to speak to Candi.

Both sides in Mississippi Democratic Party v Barbour have appealed the U.S. District Court decision to the 5th circuit. The Democratic Party ostensibly won the case in the U.S. District Court. The U.S. District Court agreed with the Democratic Party, that an open primary is unconstitutional if a party objects. The state of Mississippi appealed that decision. But the Democratic Party also appealed, since the lower court decision said the party had to require photo voter-ID at the polls for its primaries. Also, the NAACP, which had intervened in the case in June 2007, is appealing. The NAACP is also opposed to a photo voter-ID requirement for voting at the polls.

On Sunday, August 5, the Long Beach (California) Branch of the NAACP sponsored a debate for the four candidates running in the special election, 37th U.S. House district, set for August 21. The four candidates are Democrat Laura Richardson, Republican John Kanaley, Green Daniel Brezenoff, and Libertarian Herb Peters. Here is a newspaper account of the debate.
