I was under the impression that Ron Paul voted against HAVA because it was unnecessarily complicated and open to abuse, as well as having concerns about the reliability and security of the electronic diebold voting boxes. (which have been under a lot of criticism since they started making them in 1991). The act was originally intended to replace paper voting completely but was amended to require paper trails, machine testing, increased monitoring, more complex voter registration, etc. The act defeats its own purpose, simply creating a voting system more complicated and less secure than the existing system. all of which increased costs and government size; one of Paul's main objections in government.
