N.J. judge says state's voting machings safe, reliable

[no_hypocrisy]

New Jersey's 11,000 electronic voting machines are "safe, accurate and reliable," but a panel of experts — some with computer training — must decide whether to keep or scrap the most popular model, a Superior Court judge said in a ruling issued Monday.

Judge Linda R. Feinberg also ordered election officials to tighten security around the equipment, including running criminal background checks on vendors and others who work with the machines; guard units delivered early to polling places; and train workers to detect tampering.

"She did make some very good findings," Penny Venetis, an attorney for the plaintiffs and co-director of the Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic, said of Feinberg. "Unfortunately, I think this opinion should have gone further."
