Response to New York State's Proposed Final Standards

New Yorkers for Verified Voting finds the proposed Final Standards to be unacceptable.

Approving these standards as written will jeopardize the integrity of our vote in New York. It is incumbent upon the New York State Board of Elections to guarantee each citizen's right to vote, and to prove to the public that they can be confident that their votes will be accurately counted. The Final Standards fail in this regard and New York State must to do better.

Because so few changes were made to the draft regulations, we feel the only adequate response to the Final Standards is to resubmit our original commentary to the Draft Standards. Here is the introduction to our commentary on the Final Standards [~28kb PDF].
