Reply #7: I thought Wexler acknowledging his involvement and support of the bill was quite remarkable.

All along I have thought this was important, and was a thorn in the Obama rant.

A Republican plan with Obama's Florida campaign Chairman at his side
February 1, 2007 - Governor Crist unveiled plans to spend $32.5 million to replace touch-screen e-voting machines used by most voters across the state with optical-scanning equipment that prints out paper records of a voter's choices.

Crist made the announcement Thursday at a meeting of the Voters Coalition in Delray Beach, Fla., along with US Representative Robert Wexler(Democrat, Florida) (Obama's Florida campaign chairman), and other officials. The initiative had been confirmed Wednesday by a Wexler aide.

"Through this proposal, every Floridian will be able to go to the polls with total confidence that their vote will be counted on Election Day," Wexler said in a statement. "Thanks to the leadership of Governor Crist, Florida now leads the way in election integrity -- with the guarantee of a paper trail for all votes cast."
