Mixed Opinion on the Holt Bill

Gov. Bill Richardson offers this op-ed in today's The Hill, supporting the bill sponsored by Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) to require a "verifiable paper-ballot system." Meanwhile, Computerworld reports here on the division over the Holt Bill among electronic voting skeptics. Another presidential candidate, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), now opposes the legislation, which he describes as "a voter reform bill rapidly losing support," and says that he plans to introduce a separate bill requiring all ballots in presidential elections to be hand-counted.
