As California, Colorado and Florida join Ohio in plans already
in place to abandon touch-screen voting machines, Rep. Holt proposes
appropriating $500 million to states that wish to convert either
to paper ballots, or electronic machines that also leave a paper
trail. While it's too late for such a change to take place for
Super Tuesday's vote, Holt would like for such an option to be
available in time for the final presidential vote this November.

everything they bargained for," adds Doug Chapin of Pew Charitable
Trusts' electionline.org. "And, in many cases, not getting
what they paid for."
