Overdue

Five years after it was clearly necessary, and five-and-a-half after it could've made a huge difference, Sens. Clinton and Boxer, along with a Rep. from Ohio, have proposed election reform. Based on the press release quoted at that link, the reform includes making election day a national holiday, voter-verified paper ballots for electronic voting machines (which will be considered their official ballot), and same-day voter registration.

And, of course, since accurate vote counts are a partisan issue, we should not be surprised when this goes down in flames.
