Failed Electronic Voting Test Persuades Senator
From Times Wire Reports
Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) added her name to a bill that would require electronic voting machines to produce a paper record of ballots, one day after a machine she tested in Maryland produced an erroneous result.
She signed on as a co-sponsor to legislation filed by Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.).
Graham’s bill was introduced in response to fears that electronic voting machines used nationwide were subject to human error, could fail or be tampered with.
