I didn't think they would allow you to film inside the voting area.great video!!

[JoeFelice]

Thanks rock! I don't think those old ladies recognized my Flip as a video camera, but they will only stop you if they think it is intimidating or influencing other voters. There's no explicit law against recording, at least in NY.

where was that graffiti? My sister lives in NYC and I think I walked past that last time I was there.

[JoeFelice]

It's the west side of an avenue just above Houston. Probably Ave A

They shouldnt include Spanish instructions, only English. English is the official language.

[JoeFelice]

English is NOT the official language of the US or of New York. Nor is there an English literacy requirement to vote.

People who have a beef with Spanish can take it up with immigration law. If you're already a citizen, you're entitled to your vote, and the ballot exists to record and communicate your will as accurately as possible. Not to weed out people who've made it this far.

I know this comment is 2 years old

but what you've said is another example of American Ignorance and self centered nature

Thanks also for comments on Fusion Voting. Oregon just passed law allowing for Fusion voting again, I believe theirs is "single line" which might keep vote counting simpler. Doesn't require special voting software or machines like some other election methods being pushed.
