BRAD BLOG: DoJ Threaten NYS with Lawsuit for Lack of HAVA Compliance!
DoJ Threatens to Sue NY State and Board of Elections for Lack of HAVA Compliance!
Even While the Feds Own Inability to Meet HAVA Reqiurements Continues

EXCLUSIVE: Complete Letter from DoJ's Civil Rights Division to NY AG Elliot Spitzer

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice threatened in a letter to sue New York state over its failure to modernize its voting system in compliance with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. The BRAD BLOG has obtained a copy of the complete letter sent from Asst. Attorney General Wan J. Kim, of the DoJ's Civil Rights Division, to NY's Attorney General Elliot Spitzer and General Counsel Todd Valentine.

In the letter, Kim informs the state that he has received authorization to file "a lawsuit on behalf of the United States against the State of New York as well as the New York State Board of Elections, et al."

That, despite the Federal Government's own egregious failures to fully comply with HAVA requirments...

1. I hope Spitzer doesn't cave in and settle
It's time for the States to take a stand over this underfunded federal mandate for the states to use insecure election equipment that was fraudulently certified by the vendor paid "Independent Testing Authorities!

Take it to court Elliot! We've got you covered. :)
