		"I am deeply disappointed that the Senate did not restore $13 million in funds for student financial aid, $11 million in funds for critically needed new faculty, or any of the $25 million in cuts taken from UW campus budgets beyond the Governor's proposal.

		Montana State Senator John Cobb has introduced SB 117, to protect candidates who are told they won a close election, and who are then sued by the loser.
		Wisconsin has been one of a handful of states in which state election law decisions are made by a bi-partisan body, with particular members representing one of the major parties.
		In New Mexico, the state retroactively increased the fee ten-fold and a lower court said that was OK. The two candidates couldn’t afford the $1,400,000 new fee for the recount, so they dropped their request, and the voting-counting machines were then reprogrammed so that any recount would be impossible.
