ARISE Voter Task Force

Details for November 20 Task Force Meeting

An open meeting of the ARISE Voting Equipment Task Force will be
held 7-9 pm next Monday 11/20. You do not have to be a member of
ARISE to be part of our task force. We will be meeting at Trinity
United Methodist Church, 235 Lark St. in Albany (use Lancaster St.
entrance).

Our focus will be a tri-county campaign to encourage each county Board

of Elections (BOE) to hold public hearings prior to making its decision on

purchasing new voting equipment for their county. We will also be

estimating the financial impact of each alternative purchase (DRE vs

PBOS) on each of our three counties. Since each county is currently proposing its budget for next year, there is much interest in the economic repercussions of purchasing all this equipment.

Do you trust political parties and government to protect your
vote? Do you know about the reliability of the voting machines being
marketed in NYS?

Remember, our task force meeting schedules are posted at:
