"The Future of Election Reform"

Dan Tokaji has posted these interesting comments in response to an Electionline.org report viewing further congressional election reform as unlikely.

Tokaji has some interesting views on the potential unintended consequences of legislation requiring paper trails for electronic voting machines.
