The Paper Trail


Even though elections have passed, there still remains many problems with the election process. Simply look at the Presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 for proof.

America certainly cannot afford a repeat of those years. I must admit in taking pleasure in seeing the lopsided defeat of Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell. Well deserving in their losses, though still seriously in moral debt to the American people.

This brings us to HR 550. This is Representative Rush Holt's bill titled the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act.

This is something that any American interested in democracy can get behind.

The bill would make a voter verified paper trail serve as the official ballot for recounts and audits. The bill also calls for more handicap access to voting centers.
