A Fallible 'Fail-Safe' illustrates the ongoing problems in the administration of provisional ballots. Two election cycles after the implementation of HAVA, poll workers are still confused about the federal provisional balloting requirement and voter lists are still riddled with errors. To remedy these problems, Congress and the states should take clear steps outlined in the recommendations of this report -- administrative and training reforms, passing Election Day Registration -- that can ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted, in the 2008 election and beyond.
