Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) suggested in testimony before the Senate Rules Committee July 25 that the election system used in India in 2004 produced the voter confidence in the election process the Congress is seeking to achieve by federal legislation. Clinton was the lead-off witness in the hearing on S. 1487, the Ballot Integrity Act of 2007, and is co-sponsor of S. 804, the Count Every Vote Act, an election reform package requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot and a paper audit trail.
