Robert Brehm, a spokesman for the Board of Elections, said that the board believes it can have an interim voter database up and running by July or August, and have the final database ready in the beginning of 2007.

Impeccable timing with elections in November!

NY would as soon pay the fine rather than have new voting machines.

NY lives to steal elections.

"...creaky mechanical voting machines"

I never noticed them creaking, in fact, it has always been fun to vote. Pull the little levers down, then move the big handle and everything resets. What's wrong with that?

Of course there isn't any money to be made by using old machines that still do the job.

I wrote this in my website in response to this other article

This my friends is what worries them the most. Compiling a centralized voting list… This is where the corruption has it’s source. New York, especially the city, rigs their lists, according to the lawsuits. They do this for two reasons: funding from Medicaid and representation in Albany. The lists are supposed to be Voter eligible, meaning US citizens of voting age.. The lists they have are Voter age, which includes all people of voter age regardless of their citizenship. Including non-citizens inflates their numbers so they can have more representation in Albany, and increases funding for Medicaid and other programs.
