Barcodes on paper ballots: the good, the bad, and the stealth

New York State Board of Elections has certified a new voting machine that has the “bad" kind of barcode, the kind that is printed on the ballot after you cast it.  Common Cause has a lawsuit against the Expressvote XL to ban it  for this reason.  The outcome is pending.  The NYS Senate has  passed laws three times to prevent this type of voting machine, but the Assembly Election Law Committee has not acted.  Let your legislators and the governor know that you support  the  Voting Integrity and Verification Act of NY (VIVA NY) S6169 and A5934.  Preserve our current system of voter marked paper ballots.
