5. NY's a 3 percenter

RETAIN ALL PAPER BALLOTS CAST OR PRODUCE AND RETAIN A VOTER VERIFIED PERMANENT PAPER RECORD WHICH SHALL BE PRESENTED TO THE VOTER FROM BEHIND A WINDOW OR OTHER DEVICE BEFORE THE BALLOT IS CAST, IN A MANNER INTENDED AND DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF THE VOTER; SUCH BALLOTS OR RECORD SHALL ALLOW A MANUAL AUDIT AND SHALL BE PRESERVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3-222 OF THIS CHAPTER;

AUDIT OF VOTER VERIFIABLE AUDIT RECORDS. 1. WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS AFTER EACH GENERAL OR SPECIAL ELECTION, AND WITHIN SEVEN DAYS AFTER EVERY PRIMARY OR VILLAGE ELECTION CONDUCTED BY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OR A BIPARTISAN COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY SUCH BOARD SHALL MANUALLY AUDIT THE VOTER VERIFIABLE AUDIT RECORDS FROM THREE PERCENT OF VOTING MACHINES OR SYSTEMS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH BOARD. VOTING MACHINES OR SYSTEMS SHALL BE SELECTED FOR AUDIT THROUGH A RANDOM, MANUAL PROCESS. (yada)

http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A08969&sh=t

Unfortunately, section 2 redefines a ballot to encompass DREs:

The word "ballot" when referring to voting machines OR SYSTEMS means that portion of the cardboard or paper or other material OR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY within the ballot frame containing the name of the candidate and the emblem of the party organization by which he was nominate

Maybe it's some kind of phobia about hanging chads:

S 7-209. ELIMINATION OF PUNCH CARD BALLOTS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIX, NO PUNCH CARD BALLOT OR PUNCH CARD VOTING SYSTEM SHALL BE USED IN ANY MANNER IN THE CONDUCT OF ANY ELECTION.

[FogerRox]

6. does it say what the "THROUGH A RANDOM, MANUAL PROCESS"

is?

Trigger point for counting everything?

[foo_bar]

7. boe's discretion

"the state board of elections shall <...> promulgate regulations establishing a uniform statewide standard to be used by boards of elections to determine when a discrepancy between the manual audit tallies and the voting machine or system tallies shall require a further voter verifiable record audit of additional voting machines or systems or a complete manual audit of all machines or systems within the jurisdiction of a board of elections. any board of elections shall be empowered to order that any such audit shall be conducted whenever any such discrepancy exists..."

"Promulgate regulations", that's a punt if I saw one.

14. I get shy on alerts-- I am reading every VVPB law in the country

Because I have an opportunity to write the mandatory Audit law for NJ, we already have a VVPB law, but no Audit.

I'll bookmark thos elinks though.

thanks all--

Garybeck-- are reading this? VT has no Audit law either for their VVPB law.
