If Kennedy were to eventually consider a leave of absence, Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland would likely become acting HELP Committee chairman (Chris Dodd and Tom Harkin are more senior but both have their own committees to run: banking and agriculture, respectively).

As a result of snafus like that, a group of voters in the state last week sued to bar use of the machines in November's balloting. And the people of Maryland are not the only ones having second thoughts about electronic voting, the 21st century technology that was supposed to guarantee an end to elections like 2000's, with its outcome depending on subjective calls about hanging and pregnant chads.
