 German State Elections in Brandenburg, September 19, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Eighty-eight percent of DVU supporters in Brandenburg and 96 percent of NPD voters in Saxony characterize the presence of foreigners living in Germany as a “dangerous infiltration.” Despite relatively low numbers of foreigners living in eastern Germany, a clear majority of voters were of the opinion that there were too many foreigners living there.
While 59 percent of all voters in Saxony and Brandenburg felt that the reforms of the federal government were bad, this belief was held by 84 percent of NPD supporters and 83 percent of DVU supporters.
This was likewise so in Brandenburg where 10 percent of overall voters were of the opinion that the DVU was voted for because of their platform, with 84 percent stating they believed the DVU was voted for out of protest.

 German State Elections in Saarland, September 5, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Following on their successes in Hamburg and Thüringen, the Saarland state election of September 5, 2004, brings the CDU an absolute majority for the third time this year.
The fact that, at 55.5 percent, the election had the lowest level of voter participation ever recorded in a western German state can be linked to an election race that did little to polarize voters and suffered problems motivating voters to the polls.
However, the election in Saarland is not suited to be a bellwether for the current federal electoral mood and certainly not a dry run of the results of the parties in Brandenburg and Saxony in two weeks.

 High Country News -- October 11, 2004: State judges get political
Some states select judges in popular elections; in others, they are appointed by governors or special commissions, but required to run for re-election if they seek subsequent terms.
Until recently, the chief influence in these elections has been the liberal trial lawyers who have applied campaign money, endorsements and legwork to elect judges who would be sympathetic to lawsuits against corporations.
In the 2002 elections, business interests spent more than $8 million on state supreme court races, lawyers spent more than $10 million, and the political parties spent nearly $3 million, according to the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group Justice at Stake.
