Federal Bills by Holt & Feinstein!
These bills are still pending, while activists "discuss" the good and the bad of them, and the proponents do amendments. For several months, a heated debate has been running, in the trenches of the national voting integrity movement. And the text of the bills keeps changing (which can be good or bad)!
The latest (July 27) version of Holt HR 811 is here, at: http://noleakybuckets.org/holt811/HR811-July27.html There is still no solid agreement among the activists, and time is running out to be able to have good systems in place for the national elections of 2008!

One group of activists has decided to post a fascinating summary of the discussion.
