Public hearing dominated by protest over voting machines

Oct 6, 2006

SYRACUSE, N.Y. An Onondaga County budget hearing tonight was dominated by protests against electronic voting machines.

About 60 attended the public hearing in Syracuse, and almost all who spoke said that electronic voting machines shouldn't replace paper ballots.

Members of the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters and a group of women dressed up in flowered hats called "the Raging Grannies" all spoke out against the computerized voting machines with touch screens.

They cited reports of glitches in the systems and said the computers are vulnerable to hacking and fraud.
