RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association supports (1) review of the nature and causes of the problems experienced in the 2000 Presidential election in connection with the casting, counting and challenging of votes for a State's presidential electors; (2) appropriate statutory, administrative or constitutional changes designed to improve and simplify the presidential election process and ensure that it accurately reflects the will and intentions of the voters; and (3) fair and expeditious means for administrative and judicial review and resolution of potentially outcome-determinative disputes in the contests for presidential electors; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, That appropriate ABA entities such as the Standing Committee on Election Law, the Sections of State and Local Government Law, Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, and state, local, and territorial bar associations are urged to undertake these efforts.
