One cannot help but notice a pattern in the fiscal priorities set by this bill.
\n\u2022 Money to help States develop training programs: none
\n\u2022 Money to help States establish early voting programs: none
\n\u2022 Money to help States perform rigorous audits: none
\n\u2022 Money for the Commission to give to manufacturers for research: $4,000,000
\n\u2022 Money for States to give to manufacturers for machines: $600,000,000
\nThe bill is quick to clarify that the $600 million grant in no way prevents States from also tapping the $650 million granted by HAVA. That puts the total amount of American taxpayer dollars siphoned off to voting-machine manufacturers at $1.25 billion. Are the authors certain that the American people agree with these priorities? Even after handing so much of our money over to these business interests, the bill still does not provide the one thing we have requested: a paper ballot.<\/div>\n
