Vote Log Jam Breaks As Compromise Moves Forward
Washington January 21 congressional battle over a uniform federal ballot continues as the Senate backs a compromise bill limiting state voting authority. The plan would let service members abroad vote for president and Congress using a federal ballot while state election officials retain decisional power over who among service members qualifies to vote and how state registration and poll tax rules apply. The measure, approved 12 to 2 by the committee, seeks to adapt the 1942 act and would establish a four member federal ballot commission appointed by the president to prepare the form and coordinate distribution with the army and navy.
