28. TN: Governor signs voting record law

Gov. Phil Bredesen has signed into law a measure to require a paper record for voters' ballots in Tennessee.

It's not clear yet what financial effect the measure will have on Bedford County, said Bedford County Supervisor of Elections Summer Leverette.

The law requires any voting machine bought or leased after Jan. 1 to be able to create a paper trail that could be used in recounts and random audits. By the year 2010, all counties will have to have voting machines in place that create a paper trail.
