 Congressman Vernon J. Ehlers - Press Releases
Ehlers, chairman of the House Science Committee’s Environment, Technology, and Standards Subcommittee, with Ranking Member James Barcia, D-Bay City, authored H.R. 2275, the Voting Technology Standards Act, to establish standards for voting machines.
The bill was prompted by the problems of the 2000 Presidential elections and a report from Caltech and MIT that found that because of substandard voting equipment and confusing ballots that up to 2 million votes cast were not counted properly.
The thrust of the Ehlers bill was to set up a process to ensure that proper technical standards would be developed to improve voting technology and that a reliable system would be set up to test equipment against those standards.
