Light at the end of tunnel for Sancho

There's breaking news in the Leon County Voting Machines Issue. This excerpt is from a Tallahassee Democrat Online article (available through the link in the title bar):

"After a two-hour meeting with Leon County officials, Secretary of State Sue Cobb said today she is 'slightly more confident' that the county can work out problems with providing handicapped-accessible voting equipment.

Elections Supervisor Ion Sancho and County Commission Chairman Bill Proctor said they were pleased with the closed-door session."

Although this news is encouraging, this issue is not yet resolved. "Today's article about Sue Cobb's and Ion Sancho's meeting is encouraging, but in no way does it diminish the importance of attending tomorrow's events," said Rick Minor, Chair of the Leon County Democratic Executive Meeting.
