Statement by Senator Murray on Certification of Presidential Election

For Immediate Release: Thursday, January 6, 2005

While I support certifying the presidential election results, I agree with many of my colleagues who have raised questions about voting irregularities.

Election systems across the country are not working as well as they should be. Our experiences should serve as a wake up call: real election reform must be a top priority so that every voter can be confident that his or her right to vote has been protected.

Our democracy demands free and fair elections in which every vote is counted. We in Congress must do more to ensure that the problems we've experienced in recent years are never again repeated.
