Sen. Hillary Clinton recently introduced the "Count Every Vote" bill, cosponsored by Sens. Kerry, Boxer, Lautenberg, and Mikulski. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones (D-OH) plans to introduce a House counterpart. The bill would provide a series of reforms designed to provide a minimal level of interstate and intrastate uniformity in voting procedures, while encouraging greater voter participation in general. The bill would: Create uniform rules for the handling of "provisional" ballots;Require generous and adequately staffed early voting opportunities;Boost training for poll workers;Require paper receipts to ensure accountability in the use of electronic voting machines;Adopt the Texas standard for restoration of voting rights for ex-felons;Make Election Day a federal holiday to facilitate voting;Provide new federal funding to ensure full implementation of the reforms.
