Election - integrity advocates nationwide are celebrating a decision by a
New York state appeals court that classifies
electronic ballot images as public records.
At some polling sites, local elected officials reported that all of the old - school levered voting machines — which were revived this year because of concerns with
new electronic scanning machines — were down, forcing voters to cast affidavit
ballots instead.
There are three
ballot propositions on the November
ballot: 1) Creation of a redistricting commission to draw the
new state legislative and House of Representatives» district lines every 10 years, with the commission members appointed by the state legislative leaders, 2) amend the current constitutional requirement of distributing paper versions of proposed bills to state legislators to allow for electronic distribution and 3) authorize New York State to borrow up to $ 2 billion for school funding, with a stated purpose of «improving learning and opportunity for public and nonpublic school students», including the purchase of equipment, expanding school broadband access, building classrooms for pre-K and replacing trailers and installing «high - tech security features.&raq

The Election Security Act would aid states in purchasing
new voting machines that incorporate paper
ballots — a feature widely viewed as the best defense against
electronic warfare.
