Safety Review of Elect. Voting Machines

A debate over the reliability of New Jersey’s 11,000 electronic voting machines will be settled by a new panel of experts with a little judicial oversight.

At issue is whether the touch screens could be easily hacked and the results manipulated, a contention made by a branch of the Rutgers Law School in Newark. Paul Loriquet with the New Jersey Attorney General’s office says Judge Linda Feinberg heard 15 weeks of testimony before issuing her ruling this past week:

“We’re delighted that the court found that there were no constitutional violations with the voting machines; that they met the statutorial mandates.”

But she ordered a new panel to check those machines out; members that are more computer savvy and additional security measures to deter tampering. She wants to hear from those experts in 4 months. But Feinberg declined a call for the machines to start spitting out paper receipts of an individual’s vote.
