TWIN VVPT BILLS INTRODUCED INTO MINNESOTA HOUSE AND SENATE

On February 2, 2004, Representative Eric Lipman introduced H.F.1703 into the
House. On the same day, Senators Dan Sparks and Linda Higgins introduced a
companion bill (S.F. 1666) into the Senate. Not only do these bills require
a voter-verifiable paper trail, they require that all ballots be optical
scan ballots. So any touch screens the state buys must be ballot-generators,
not DREs. You can read the full text of HF1703 here:
