To HR811 or Not to HR811

Lots of controversy lately from some activists against HR811 and then the big non-profits and some words from Rush Holt for it. So, at long last I've read the whole thing and read over some of the objections again.

Here are my conclusions:
1) HR811 is extremely readable compared with our own SB1311. Much less ambiguous.
2) I wish HR811 applied to all races in CT (with stronger % audit, especially as the district size reduces)
- applies to every federal race
- independent audit board
- must announce precincts to audit within 24 hours of posting results
- must hold certification until after audit
3) I wish HR811 and SB1311 had very strict guidelines on what to do after an audit discrepancy to a) automatically trigger a full recount AND b) allow judgment as an additional means of calling for a recount.
4) It is far better than nothing.
5) It probably does not go far enough to protect our vote and does nothing for non-federal races.
6) I just don’t see the harm in the bill
