19. NY Civic Groups Outraged at NYS Board of Elections Action


NY Civic Groups Outraged at NYS Board of Elections Action

A coalition of civic groups, including New Yorkers for Verified Voting, NYS League of Women Voters, NYPIRG, and Common Cause / NY today condemned the State Board of Election's decision to begin preliminary certification testing of the Liberty DRE computerized voting machine this week, even though the prototype still has no voter verified paper ballot or full accessibility features as required by law. The groups found out about the move through a letter received on Friday by members of the HAVA Citizens Advisory Committee.

"Computer engineers know that it is technically naïve to believe that a partial system can be adequately tested."

-snip-

"In their decision to start the certification process for a voting machine that isn't fully built yet, the Board of Elections is acting like nincompoops."
