In the wake of Florida's election brouhaha, the need for state and local governments to upgrade voting equipment has become a hot topic.

Senators are calling for national studies of the voting system; others are requesting a presidential commission to make recommendations about voting system upgrades. State and local governments across the country are forming committees and calling for a review of recount methods and ballot issues.

This coverage by GCN State & Local is a "must read" for anyone interested in this timely debate. The issue lists the status, systems and recommendations being discussed in each of the 50 states.
