KINGSTON — Electronic voting machines are coming to a district in Ulster County this November, despite questions about the machines' security.

Legislator Susan Zimet, D-New Paltz, was the sole opponent of the request.

Zimet said she supports the election commissioners' trial run, but that the federal Help America Vote Act that mandates the change is a bad law. "The commissioners are doing what they have to do, they're doing what's right. But the federal law is making us fix something that's not broken."

Zimet and other critics of the law contend that not only the Sequoia machines but other electronic systems are easily hacked and can be just as easily subverted. In contrast, lever voting machines are "designed to prevent and reveal tampering."

Jean McGarry, president of the Mid-Hudson Region League of Women Voters, said the league supports the optical scanners because they leave a paper trail.

"Let's hope they work," she said. :scared:
