▲▲ The editorial in this morning’s New York Times—The Road to Reliable Elections—concerns desperately needed electronic voting reform. As you know, Trustee Tom Fuentes is on the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC), the body that was supposed to fix what is broken (post-2000 election fiasco) but that has refused to do that. Gee, I wonder why?
Turns out that’s OK because individual states are gradually making the fixes themselves. Plus Dianne Feinstein and her pals are riding to the rescue:
…The Election Assistance Commission, whose role is merely advisory, long ago missed the chance to take the lead on electronic voting reform. The states that adopted paper requirements have done that. And it now looks as if Congress may finally resolve the matter for the whole nation.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, and Representative Rush Holt, Democrat of New Jersey, plan to introduce legislation to require voter-verified paper records. That legislation has a good chance of passing. If any members of Congress are uncertain why such a law is needed, the [new] NIST report makes the case convincingly.
