AI Summary
This bill, the Securing America's Elections Act of 2018, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voting systems used in federal elections to produce a voter-verified paper ballot. It provides additional funding to enable states to meet these new requirements, and directs the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Election Assistance Commission to study the feasibility and desirability of using open-source software in voting systems. The new paper ballot requirements would apply starting with the November 2018 federal election.
