"Democrats may give voting machines more scrutiny"

The National Journal's article, "Democrats may give voting machines more scrutiny describes possible efforts by the Democrats to address some of the shortfalls in electronic voting.

More than 200 House lawmakers have co-sponsored a bill by Rush Holt, D-N.J, that would require voting machines to produce paper trails. . .
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is likely to take the leadership post on the Rules Committee. Feinstein this fall pledged to introduce a bill similar to Holt's, H.R. 550.
