Rules Democrats Revolt On Electronic Voting Bill« Thread Started on Sept 7, 2007, 11:26pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rules Democrats Revolt On Electronic Voting BillBy Patrick O'Connorread at source> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/ ... 1.shtmlSep 6, 2007--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(The Politico) House Democrats had a little-noticed hiccup this week over the issue of electronic voting.
