“It’s important that voting rights experts, election officials, and policymakers take a long hard look at HAVA, to assess what worked well and what didn’t. It may or may not be necessary to amend federal law.

My Findlaw column tomorrow will be looking ahead to 2012. Maybe I should have just used Dan’s 2004 column.
Dan will be liveblogging at Moritz. I’ll be doing so here, and I’m scheduled to be on AIRTALK Tuesday at 11 am Pacific, with Doug Lewis, talking about election administration issues.
