Slashdot today posted a link to a blog by Bo Lipari, the Executive Director of New Yorkers for Verified Voting, which discusses a document floating around the state senators offices regarding changes that Microsoft and Election Voting Machine Manufacturers want to make to current election law.

Read on for the proposed changes.
