From the AP today:
WASHINGTON -- Former President Carter and former Secretary of State James A. Baker III will head a study commission that will recommend changes in the nation's federal election system.
The bipartisan panel, announced Thursday by American University's Center for Democracy and Election Management, is charged with examining such matters as the disputed 2000 presidential election.

Besides gauging how federal reforms worked in the last election, the panel will come up with ways to "restore full confidence of the American people in the inclusiveness and integrity of the U.S. electoral system," Munro said Friday. "It's kind of a tall order, but some very distinguished folks are appointed."
Other members of the privately funded panel include former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who lost his seat in last year's election, former Reps. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., and Susan Molinari, R-N.Y., and Robert Mosbacher, the first President Bush's secretary of commerce.
