"Feinstein to lead e-voting scrutiny"

The San Jose Mercury News has an article, "Feinstein to lead e-voting scrutiny," that discusses Senator Diane Feinstein's plans to lead hearings on election reform. The article says:

"The committee may also look at other issues. Republicans want measures to ensure voter ID and prevent fraud, and Feinstein would like to bar a state's top election official from participating in a campaign committee for a federal candidate. Secretaries of state in Florida in 2000 (Katherine Harris) and in Ohio in 2004 (Ken Blackwell) headed Bush-Cheney committees while making decisions on a wide range of election procedures."
