As a result of the voting controversy in the 2000 presidential election, Congress passed the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) that has ushered in electronic touch-screen and optical-scan voting machines to replace punch card and lever voting systems. Implementing the act, however, has not been smooth. According to Wendy Noren, clerk for Boone County, MO, the equipment that was supposed to provide a hard copy of the machine's tallies failed to print for several units. But in Lorain County, OH, they had five recounts in different areas, and in each case, the electronic voting equipment proved to be accurate. Currently, 27 states require voter-verified paper trails, but, only about half have implementation plans.
