The House rejected a bill last week that would have funded the purchase of
paper ballots as a backup to electronic voting systems for the upcoming
election.

The bill would have directed the Election Assistance Commission to
establish a program to make the grants in time for the November vote.

Aviel Rubin, a professor of computer science at the University of Maryland
and longtime skeptic of electronic voting, said he was disappointed by the
House.

"It’s a real missed opportunity," he said. "I just hope we won’t be
sorry in November."
