Progressive Democrat Issue 104: NY STATE and NYC FOCUS ON ELECTION INTEGRITY
The first part of this action alert is for all of NY State, the second part for NYC in particular.
New Yorkers for Verified Voting and the New York State League of Women Voters are conducting a campaign calling for election commissioners to provide a detailed accounting of their reasons for choosing a voting system to the citizens of the county prior to acquisition of the system. We need this kind of accountability to help protect the integrity of our vote and to make it clear that the Board of Elections is being watched by the public. There are four steps in this campaign and you can find out how you can help by going to this website.
And for NYC, the following is continued from last week because of its critical importance.
We continue to fight the good fight here in NYC against DRE machines. I have written about this enough that I doubt I have to go into too much detail. You can read some of my earlier stuff if you want more on it. Or see the DFNYC site's discussion of the issue. For me the lack of a legal recount and the fact that the National Institute of Standards and Technology is warning against DRE machines is good enough to fight them.
There is still one upcoming events in NYC where you can testify to the Board of Elections about DRE machines:
On January 23, 2007, at 4 PM, the NYC Board of Elections will conduct a hearing at the Board offices at 42 Broadway, 6th floor, and the public is invited to attend and comment to the Board Commissioners on the proposed new voting machines.
If you want to testify, you can contact me and I can hook you up with people organizing testimony. We need you to show up!
You can also write the media to try and keep the issue in public discussion.
