U.S. Sens. Hilary Clinton (D-NY) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced a bill, The Count Every Vote Act, that would require every vote cast in electronic voting machines to be accopmanied by a voter-verified paper ballot.

The bill mandates that verified paper ballots would become the official ballot record in case of a recount, and seeks to increase security measures for e-voting machines. The bill is co-sponsored by Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio).
