A committee member reported that Suffolk County is spending $31,000,000 on new voting machines but, according to the member, the county will not make the new machines available to villages, school districts, or fire departments. The speaker said the county is offering older Dominion machines in their place and described the offer as unacceptable.
"They're giving us their garbage, which we have to get technicians to make sure they're working," the committee member said, adding that the older equipment will require additional technical support. The speaker also noted that meetings are scheduled in the next couple of weeks to discuss how the county will provide machines and what local jurisdictions will accept.
