Feds weigh takeover of NY voting machine selection


A federal takeover of New York's process for selecting new voting machines to replace its decades-old lever equipment has been proposed by the U.S. Justice Department, which is frustrated by the state's continued noncompliance with election reforms adopted in 2002.

In a blistering 26-page motion filed in federal court here, Justice officials said the state Board of Elections had missed multiple deadlines for installing new voting machines. They were to be in use by Jan. 1, 2006.

New York is the only state in violation of the Help America Vote Act, which was adopted after the Florida balloting debacle in 2000. The law mandates that machines be accessible to the disabled and produce a paper trail for use in recounts. Lever machines can do neither.
