NY: United States Eastern District Court Sides With Lever Advocates

[Wilms]

In state court, Nassau County sued the New York State Board of Elections for forcing optical scan on them. The BoE argued it was a federal issue because of HAVA. The judge agreed to bounce the case to the Fed.

The Eastern Court looked at the matter and decided it lacked jurisdiction...and further, that ain't buying the notion suggesting HAVA bans lever machines.

Now it's back to state court where Nassau will argue against ERMA, the state law that bans levers on the erroneous idea that HAVA required it.

And it's also back to another federal court--the Northern District, where Judge Sharpe has ordered Nassau to use unverified voting equipment. I suppose the good Judge will read even more papers in light of the Eastern Court order.
