34. in some states, legislatures are a huge obstacle
In Florida, the overwhelmingly Republican legislature has blocked all efforts to implement paper receipts. That and other changes, I believe, will likely only be implemented through a constitutional amendment that allows a direct vote by the people. Such amendments need to be worded in one or two sentences, and in as clear of a way as possible. It is the Republican legislature who implements the amendments, and we need a clear mandate they can't wiggle around. I want voting reform on ballot for the 2006 gubernatorial and congressional election.
