Tackling an Actual Problem

It is a nice reprieve from all of the voter ID laws that seem to never be "tough enough" for their proponents to see that the Indiana legislature is tackling a bona fide problem:

County election boards that beef up security around voting equipment and elections will be able to seek reimbursement for their expenses under a bill approved by a state Senate committee Monday.

Senate Bill 327 requires counties to make sure their voting systems follow new security procedures and allows county election boards to apply to the Indiana Secretary of State for full or partial compensation of any resources or staff implemented to meet the new standards. However, it does not say where the money is coming from.

I don't claim that this is a perfect measure, but I do know that a doctor I know opines regularly that "the enemy of 'good' is 'better'." It is good to see that the IN State legislature is trying to solve an actual problem, as opposed to the usual exercise in "solutions" looking for problems to justify themselves.

Let's applaud a step in the right direction.
