Reply #21: CA: Hearings to Address Electronic Voting (San Francisco!) [View All]

[EFerrari]

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Hearings on possible election reforms will be held next year in response to growing public distrust of electronic voting machines.

Under the new Democratic Senate majority, California Senator Dianne Feinstein will head the Rules and Administration Committee, which has oversight on how federal elections are carried out. It was her idea to take a serious look at electronic voting by conducting hearings next year.

KCBS’ George Harris spoke with a U.C. Berkeley political science and public policy professor about the hearings. Henry Brady said “it’s about time.”

"It's really been a national disgrace. I think it's time to really look at what's going on and see if we can't do a better job."
