Eleventh Circuit orders trial in FL electronic voting lawsuit
Matt Lubniewski at 1:12 PM ET

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals Monday reinstituted a lawsuit that sought to mandate a paper trail for electronic voting machines in Florida. The lawsuit, filed by Robert Wexler, a Florida congressman, was initially denied jurisdiction by a federal district court. The Eleventh Circuit vacated that decision, and remanded for a determination on the merits.

A Florida state court ruled last month that a paper trail was not required. Read the Eleventh Circuit's full opinion.[PDF]AP has more.
