 | | Two assemblywomen are working to ensure the infamous recount of 2000, which took place in Florida following the presidential election, does not happen in New York. |
 | | Addressing the need for transparency and accountability in New York’s voting, Assemblywomen Sandy Galef, D,I,WF-Ossining, and Barbara Lifton, D-Ithaca, and numerous supporters held a press conference last Tuesday to demonstrate the benefits of adopting a bill (A.5170) that would require optical scan paper ballot voting in New York State. |
