If you have DRE voting machines in your area, and know first hand the failures of this system please help us out!
Thanks!
Or you can write in for freedom :)
From my meet up:
Tell Your County Not to Purchase Failed DRE voting machines!
In a shocking move, New York State Supreme Court Justice O'Connor overruled the decision of the State Board of Elections and allowed touchscreen voting machines (DREs), to be purchased by counties. Last week the Board voted to eliminate the LibertyVote and Avante DREs because they violate New York State law and don't qualify as ballot marking devices. But legal experts were astounded when the Court decided that vendors should be able to sell whatever equipment they want - whether or not it serves the needs of voters. There are no less than 3 paper ballot/ballot marker/ballot scanner systems available to the counties. There is no need to buy expensive, failure prone DREs when a superior alternative is available for less cost.
County election commissioners are scheduled to make their machine choice today, February 8. It is urgent that you call your county Board of Elections today and tell them -
DO NOT PURCHASE TOUCH SCREEN VOTING MACHINES.
