	Chapter 1, pgs. 11-14; An Illustrated History of Monroe Country, Iowa 896
		Monroe County is in the second tier of counties from the southern line of the State; and is the fifth county in the tier, from the Mississippi River.
		While its drift formation is not different from that of its neighboring counties, the southwestern portion of Monroe County is probably outside of the region of the great coal-producing portion of the lower coal measure of the State.
		Counties were created by legislative acts of the Territorial Council and General Assembly, which later took the place of the Council when the State was admitted into the Union.

	Aldrich History, Chapter 1
		The history of Clearfield county properly begins at the time of its organization, and a narrative of the events of the territory within its boundaries, prior to such organization, must be associated with the events of the older counties from which it was erected.
		The county is bounded north by Elk and Cameron counties; east by Centre and Clinton counties; south by Cambria county, and west by Jefferson and Indiana counties.
		The Moshannon receives the drainage or surface waters from the west slope of the Alleghenies in Centre county, and of the eastern slope of the irregular and broken hilly districts of the townships on the east boundary of Clearfield county.

		While county health authorities and elected officials readily agreed that the press coverage of 1987 brought colonias into the spotlight, both locally and nationally (EPHP 11/24/87), they also remarked on the newness of "colonias." County Judge Luther Jones, in his 1988 congressional testimony marveled at how recently colonias had come to public attention.
		In what county and state officials eventually came to regard as grotesquely usurious contracts, developers sold their land under "contracts for deed," arrangements that allowed sellers to retain title to the lots until all payments (usually spread over 15 years) had been made.
		In El Paso County, as we have seen, the "other" that emerged as the border-threat to identity is the self-soiling colonia resident, a subject marked initially by its Mexicaness and by its position in the local labor market, and subsequently by occupation of the space that comes to be defined by it.

		The boards of elections in Tuscarawas, Carroll and Harrison counties were named in the suit along with Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell and the State Controlling Board, which has refused to release funding for the machines since March 8.
		The 31 counties were picked because they were closest to going ahead with implementing electronic voting to replace punch cards until funding was stopped, said Daniel F. Goldstein, lead counsel for the federation, based in Baltimore.
		Counties have lost the ability to have machines in place for August special elections, he said, and there is a danger the November presidential election will be missed as well.

	Democrats.com Exclusive: Florida Legislature Secretly Authorized A New Felons Purge for 2001
		To make matters worse, the new purge law uses the state funds that were set aside to help counties buy new voting equipment - especially counties with large minority populations that use the error-prone punch card machines that disenfranchised so many voters in 2000.
		(Five Florida counties are covered under the pre-clearance laws because they engaged in discriminatory practices in the past.) But Florida never notified the Department of Justice of the existence of the secret felons purge law.
		The only reason that thousands of additional eligible voters were not disenfranchised was that many county supervisors refused to obey the law that required them to remove people on the lists from the voter registration rolls because the lists were so inaccurate.
