House Committee on Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Government Reform produced this report summarizing the election procedures of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report includes descriptions of the types of voting machines and describes state recount and contest procedures. The House has traditionally deferred to state election procedures in close and contested elections. As a result, candidates who have lost in close elections normally follow available state recount and contest procedures prior to seeking any relief in the House.
