Resolved: NY Communities Want Levers

Target: Governor David Paterson, New York Senate Majority Leader Malcolm A. Smith, Senate Minority Leader Dean Skelos, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr.

Sponsored by: Election Transparency Coalition

Concerned citizens, organizations, and NY State counties, cities, and towns are joining together to advocate for the continued use of lever voting machines to ensure New York has an election system that is secure, transparent, cost effective, and inspires confidence in its integrity.

We the undersigned call upon our elected representatives in the NYS legislature to rescind or amend the Election Reform and Modernization Act (ERMA) and enact laws, rules and regulations that specifically authorize the continued use of lever-style voting machines.

We call upon Governor Paterson to urge the legislature to rescind ERMA and to return federal funding to replace lever machines, recognizing that returning these funds will save New Yorkers tax dollars.

Thank you for taking action on our behalf.
