This morning, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer introduced a bill calling for a renewed federal commitment to election reform. In 2004, the last time such legislation was introduced, it was shut down by the Senate Rules Committee before being debated.
The Count Every Vote Act of 2005 would provide a verified paper ballot for all votes cast in electronic voting machines, set uniform standards for provisional ballots, and require federal standards for ballot access and personnel training in every precinct.
