NYC Finally Poised to Give Up Lever Voting Machines

Say goodbye to the voting booth with its quaint little curtain. Say goodbye to pulling the lever for your candidate. And say hello to filling in SAT-style ovals on Election Day.

Update
NYC choose the ES&S system.

I recommended this system to the Board of Elections in meetings in 2007.
