Let's face it. Election reform is not a bipartisan issue because faulty elections continuously benefit the Republican party. Irrespective of the morality of fair elections, Republicans won't pursue them because they generally won't bite the hand that feeds them. Unless the deficient electoral system actually began to bite them.
Republicans control two of the three biggest swing states, Ohio and Florida. But we run the third, Pennsylvania. Rick Santorum is up for reelection in 2006. I do believe that hiring an avowed Democratic electronic voting machines corporation to handle the votes in exclusively in Lancaster and York counties (two of the largest Republican strongholds in the state) may catalyze bipartisan support for election reform. Until suspicious election equipment bites the Republicans, they have no reason to sign on board for reform. Can this be accomplished?
