More Unfinished 2008 Election Business: Verifiable Vote Counts | Democracy and Elections | AlterNet:

"Universal voter registration is seen by many advocates as the best solution to 2008's most controversial and litigious election issues, such as millions of registration records where voter's information did not match other government databases, and problems caused by third-party voter registration drives that submitted error-filled voter applications.

But fixing registration-related issues only addresses part of the process -- the intake and processing of the electorate. Election reforms also need to look at accommodating voters, so there are not long lines at polling places. Equally important is the still-neglected part of the process that concerns voting itself and accuracy of the vote count."
