Compiled by Eileen Snyder, March 2008 |
Since the controversy over the federal election of 2000, election reform has been a major agenda item for state legislatures and Congress alike. This Tap the Power presents resources about reform efforts in Wisconsin and nationally, and especially about the implementation of the Help America Vote Act of 2002. It updates and supplements two previous Tap the Power publications about elections. Compliance with Election Laws: An Evaluation / Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau. 2007.
