Here is one issue that is crying out for Congressional focus: election procedure and reform.

Direct recording electronic voting machines have eased the voting process in some ways, but they have also created controversies of their own.

Election jurisdictions should look for transparency among the vendors of voting machines, systems, and software.

For better or worse, the battle over the 2000 Florida election still remains with us. Billions of dollars are being spent by states to change their voting-machine systems in order to correct the perceived problems experienced in Florida. Yet much debate still exists over exactly what went wrong in Florida...

Paper trails will one day provide a useful check on the accuracy of electronic voting machines, but Congress should not rush to implement them.

Electronic voting machines were billed as the wave of the future just months ago, but some states are now deciding whether to ban them.

There is a corrosive perception that the voting system in parts of the United States systematically prevents people from voting and that this particularly discriminates against blacks.

Democrats who complained about how punch-card machines and hanging chads in Florida disenfranchised voters are now complaining about what they earlier insisted was the "cure."
