New York State didn't have a problem with its lever-action machines, and only needed to have another type of machine available for those with disabilities who found the older machines difficult to use. It didn't need a big revamping.

2. Of course we didn't! But...

...the editorial makes one serious error: they said "the company that serviced the old style mechanical voting machines has gone out of business."

This is not the case and there is a letter from the company stating conditions for continued servicing of the AVM machines used in most of the counties in the state, which they say can be maintained "indefinitely."

Spread this around to all NY counties, who seem to be wanting for such information! And tell the editor of this paper to print a correction!
