New York State’s voting machines are aging and will need replacement. This creates a challenge for our state: can we get new equipment that is as good as the old?
As the State Elections Board Moves to Make Elections Less Transparent, General Assembly May Go the Other Way
Published May 11, 2021
I wrote on May 4 how the NC State Board of Elections (SBE) is, contrary to state law, trying to make our elections process less transparent by limiting the number of election observers:
For that reason, it is dismaying that the SBE is seeking to change the maximum number of voting place-specific observers from two every four hours to two per day…
…While the SBE claims that the proposed limit on observers is just part of a set of changes that “would provide clarity in election processes for county boards of elections, as well as political parties,” it would make our elections less transparent.
