NY BOE 9/12/12 Meeting

Here are some of my notes:

1. The Court order to fix the OverVote problem will not be done until the 2013 elections. In the 2010 General Election we used two new optical scan voting systems. I found an error in the software that did not create an OverVote if you selected two of the same candidate for a position. This happens due to New York's Fusion voting which allows the same candidate to appear on multiple party lines. The software would only select the first party it scanned, from the top down upstate and from the left to right in New York City and not tell the voter which party it selected as your vote.

2. The pre-cleared addition of the Bengali language in New York City will not be done until the 2013 elections due to a printing vendor problem.

3. They are to begin evaluating an automated ballot audit system, ClearVote. One electronic system to verify another electronic system and replace hand counting.

Only in New York.









NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!
