[Ed : Bumped by Liza ]
Democracy For New York City is hosting a special training headed by Teresa Hommel, computer expert and voting activist. It will fill in the gaps on what you know about Paper Ballot/Optical Scan vs DRE voting systems and =will also give you some lobbying smarts, so we can take this issue to the NY City Council members and make sure all five boroughs opt for Paper BBallot/Optical Scanner systems. Since NYC makes up about 38% of NY State voters, it’s a good way for securing the vote and influencing machine voting choice statewide.
Bring: your Council Member's name. You can find out who yours is by going to www.nypirg.org.
