Following is a compilation of voting records that I adapted from 
information at the Library of Congress. I any of you do not receive the 
entire post do to net problems (e.g. you FidoNet folks) let me know what 
state you are interested in, and I'll send you the record for it. 
Because of length, I would prefer not to re-post the entire document.

Hopefully, this information will help you make voting decisions in 
November. Use it or loose it.

Regards, Vic Dura, Rogersville, AL ([victor dura] at [pcohio.com])
