House To Vote On Paper Trail and OSS Voting Bill

Posted by kdawson on from the good-start dept.

Spamicles writes "A vote is imminent for the bill that is a direct response to problems in the 2006 elections. This legislation would create a paper trail for elections, require a manual audit of every federal election, and open the source code of voting software in certain circumstances. The bill currently has 216 co-sponsors and is expected to be brought to the floor of the House and passed any day."

    I'm not sure what to mod it though. It's obviously flame bait, but it is funny. Unfortunately, there is also a good chance it is true, which I guess would make it insightful.
