Activists Sue to Ban Voting Touch Screens
http://www.truthout.org/122308VA
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - Activists in Pennsylvania say they're
pressing ahead with a lawsuit to ban touch-screen voting machines in
the state's 67 counties.
The suit alleges the machines are vulnerable to computer hackers,
don't leave a paper trail to verify votes are accurately recorded and
don't always work properly, said the League of Women Voters.
Joining the league in the suit are the NAACP, Public Interest Law
Firm of Philadelphia and incoming state Treasurer Rob McCord of Bucks
County, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday.
The state Supreme Court last week gave the plaintiffs the OK to
proceed with the suit against the machines, which already are being
used in 50 of the state's counties, the Post-Gazette said.
