ALBANY -- New York's Senate and Assembly failed to agree Thursday on just how to fix state legislation adopted two years ago requiring replacement of lever-action voting machines statewide by Sept. 1 of this year.
...
Daghlian said that election officials expect to use the lever-action machines for this fall's elections and for the presidential primary next year. Asked if a failure to amend the current law might force election officials to use paper ballots instead, Daghlian said: "That is one the lawyers would have to answer."
...
Barbara Bartoletti, a spokeswoman for the state League of Women Voters, said paper ballots might be a good idea.
"That would be perfectly fine with us. They are used in many places," she said. "They are recountable and they are accurate."
