Paper Ballot Votes Handcounted in Staten Island Election

By   No comments
Message Allegra Dengler
Today’s New York Times article on a recount in Staten Island is an interesting look at current New York State law in action, which requires a 100% recount of every election. New York still conducts elections on lever voting machines. When New York goes to the new paper ballot/scanner elections, a random sampling of only 3% of the ballots will be recounted, despite the known vulnerabilities of computerized scanners.. For more information on the current audit provision, download  the analysis by Howard Stanislevic "NY: So How Much Do We Have to Audit? About THIS MUCH! (PDF)"  from
