Just saw this on Slashdot, and it seems like it could be a huge step towards fixing our electoral system if it's passed (big if, if you ask me).

It includes all kinds of sensible things like,

• required paper trails
• designating election day as a federal holiday
• making deceptive behavior (like telling people in poor neighborhoods the wrong voting date or polling place) a federal crime
• restricting political activities of managers and executives at voting machine manufacturers
• and my favorite:

  Any voting system containing or using software shall disclose the source code, object code, and executable representation of that software to the Commission, and the Commission shall make that source code, object code, and executable representation available for inspection upon request to any citizen.
