Kuninich abandons support for Holt Bill

According to Black Box Voting, Dennis Kucinich has announced via a conference call to Democracyfest that he'll be withdrawing his support from HR 811, also known as the Holt Bill. He also stated that he'll be reintroducing his bill formerly known as HR 6200, which provides for handcounted, paper ballots.

The Holt Bill would in many ways improve the current voting machine situation, but still it further entrenches the current crop of DREs and touchscreens.

As usual, Black Box Voting and BradBlog are on the job.
