S. 977 is an Exact Clone of Rep. Frankel's VVPB/Audit Bill
 Pennsylvania
Senator Joseph Conti (R-10th) yesterday introduced S. 977, a bill
calling for a voter verified paper record of every vote and a mandatory
random handcount of 5% of those paper records in each county in the
state.companion bill to HB 2000 yesterday. The bill is a verbatim clone
of a bill introduced in the Pennsylvania House in late September by
Rep. Dan Frankel (D-Allegheny)
The verification language of the bills, which has over 50 co-sponsors
in the House, is drawn from Rush Holt’s Voter Confidence and Increased
Accessibility Act (HR 550) which was introduced in the US House earlier
this year. It has the support of state and local election integrity
organizations and VoteTrustUSA joins with other national organizations
like Verified Voting and Common Cause in supporting this legislation.
