NASSAU VOTERS INVITED TO TEST VOTING MACHINES. Tomorrow, Nassau voters are invited to test and compare new electronic voting machines being considered by the county Board of Elections as replacements for the old lever-style machines. The board is holding an open house from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in East Garden City, to seek citizens' input on 13 different voting machines submitted to the state for approval, Democratic Elections Commissioner William Biamonte said. The state is under pressure from the federal government to modernized equipment and improve access for disabled voters. Counties will select machines from a list approved by the state. Visitors will be asked to complete a questionnaire on their choice. - CELESTE HADRICK

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Those old Lever Machines ain't broke, but those new electronic ones certainly seem to be. Isn't that exactly why they want us to use them????

3. Right On!

Steve's got it down.

HAVA doesn't ban levers. Doesn't ban anything that was in use in 2000.

Between people's inability to read and understand the law, and voting vendor lobbyist pitching lies by the bucket, state after state got rid of levers that were safer to use.
