Penn. Sued over Paper Ballot Rejection

HeadlineOct 24, 2008

Meanwhile, a group of voter and civil rights groups have sued the State of Pennsylvania to demand emergency paper ballots be distributed when 50 percent or more electronic voting machines become inoperable at any polling site in the state. The lawsuit was filed after Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State ordered counties to provide emergency paper ballots only if every electronic voting machine breaks down at a voting site. The plaintiffs include the NAACP, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia and Voter Action. More on the lawsuit later in the broadcast.
