PA Top Court OK's Voting Machine Buys
My earlier post on Voting Machine Replacement Questions addressed a local court ruling against replacement of machines in one county due, at least in part, to a state constitutional requirement to have voters approve any cahnge in the voting method. That ruling was reversed recently.
As PennLive reports: "Pennsylvania's highest court ruled Thursday that a county may replace its mechanical lever voting machines without voter approval in a case that pitted new federal election laws against the state constitution."
It's amazing how fast the legal system can work at times - especially when incentivized by the need to capture a share of $135 million in federal funds.
