    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that each registered voter in the 
United States should have the right--
            (1) to vote and have his or her vote accurately counted;
            (2) to cast a vote if he or she is in line when the polls 
        are closing;
            (3) to ask for and receive assistance in voting;
            (4) if he or she has voted in error, to at least 3 
        successive opportunities to correct that error through 
        replacement ballots;
            (5) to an explanation if his or her registration is in 
        question;
            (6) if his or her registration is in question, to cast a 
        provisional ballot;
            (7) to prove his or her identity by signing an affidavit if 
        election officials doubt the voter's identity;
            (8) to written instructions to use when voting, and, upon 
        request, oral instructions in voting from elections officers;
            (9) to vote free from coercion or intimidation by elections

            (10) to vote on a voting machine that is in working 
        condition and that will allow votes to be accurately cast.
