Voting machine mayhem; Pols pushing old levers
Everything old is new again!
Unsatisfied with the computerized voting system that was put in place in New York three years ago, a bipartisan group of state lawmakers in Brooklyn and Staten Island is pushing for a return of the old lever voting machines in city elections.
State senators Simcha Felder (D-Borough Park), Diane Savino (D-Bensonhurst-Staten Island), Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) and Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island) are working together for passage of a bill that would allow for the use of lever machines in New York City municipal elections.
