Dodd-McConnell Amendment Passes Senate

The Dodd-McConnell amendment was passed 63-31. This means $1.5 billion will be available to HAVA. The fight, however, is not over.

Two hurdles remain:
1. The disability community must win in House-Senate joint conference.
2. $65 million of the HAVA bill must go directly to HHS to make polling places accessible and so that the Protection and Advocacy services can provide technical assistance.
