New voting machines for NY? State OKs touchscreen models and opponents warn of problems [View all]
New York has signed off on a touchscreen voting machine that gives counties a new option for elections but has triggered concerns about errors and hacking that could lead to a legal challenge.
The state Board of Elections certified the ExpressVote XL model on Wednesday, adding it to the list of voting devices from which New York City and 57 counties choose. The machines feature a 32-inch interactive screen that displays the ballot and that voters touch to select candidates.
The Nebraska company that makes the device vows it's reliable and secure, saying it underwent hours of development and testing before New York certified it. The manufacturer had sought the state's approval for several years.
Call me a skeptic!! People are just getting used to the ones where the paper ballot is entered. That has a few problems with some people holding on or not making the insert. This will be a nightmare .
