Latham misleads us again The bill he opposes could have helped Iowa. But Democrats control Iowa, so maybe he doesn't want to help anymore.

The bill is not redundent. It offers states a solution to problems that HAVA created. It is typical "clean up" legislation, that fixes errors of the original HAVA or advances HAVA in specific ways.

There is no billion dollar surplus that we can draw on. Some states (NY) have not yet spent their original money from HAVA, but we can't get that money.

Latham has never been engaged on this issue and still seems to be ignorant after all these years.
