چکیده
The historic General Election of 2000 led to the largest election reform legislation in the nation’s history, “The Help America Vote Act” of 2002 (HAVA).

In order to further this worthy goal, this paper is intended to provide informative responses from the ETC to proposed federal legislation regarding voting system technology requirements.
