Local News From the Palm Beach Post

The Palm Beach County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union wants to join in a lawsuit seeking to mandate a "paper trail" for electronic voting machines. The local ACLU filed a motion Thursday to join U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, as a plaintiff in his suit against Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood and Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Theresa LePore. Wexler wants a judge to order the county to include ballot printers with its paperless electronic voting system. A hearing on motions to dismiss the suit or to have it moved to Tallahassee is scheduled for today in Palm Beach Circuit Court.
