Challenges to New Jersey's Voting Machines
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
New York, NY –
In the aftermath of voter outrage over the conduct of the 2000 elections, both federal and state government committed to bring more integrity and reliability to the voting process.
The federal Help America Vote Act was passed.
In 2005, New Jersey voting rights activists hailed a move by the state legislature to require that starting this year the state's electronic voting machimes would create a verifiable paper ballot that documented every vote cast.
But now, the state concedes it won't make the deadline in time for the February 5th primary.
With us now to talk about the status of both New York and New Jersey voting machines is Penny Venetis, assistant director of the Constitutional Law Clinic at Rutgers Law School.
