Call for paper trail, new election
Democratic U.S. lawmakers condemn the way Sarasota's election was run

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Citing the battle under way over the results of last week's congressional election in Sarasota County, two Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday called on Congress to require that voting machines produce a paper trail.

Their initiative came as voter advocacy groups in Sarasota renewed their push for a new election for the still-undecided 13th Congressional District race.

"The results are up in the air because of problems with the voting mechanism," U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., said in a press conference in Washington. "There can be no satisfactory resolution of this problem because there is no voter-verified paper trail."

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Boca Raton, called it "unfathomable" that votes might not be recounted correctly because of a missing paper record.
