NY Should live streaming of vote counts of absentee ballots
Philadelphia and other communities already let people observe the counting from their computer
New York State should follow the lead of Philadelphia and mandate that Boards of Elections live stream vote counting. So many elections in NYS (this year and in previous elections) are very close. Some voters don't have confidence in the integrity of our election system. If voters could watch the counting on their computer (as was done this year in Philadelphia and in some other states) people will feel better about our democracy, will have a better understanding of how votes are counted and will be more likely to accept the results if their candidate lost.
Thank you, Philadelphia for leading the way. Transparency in a democracy is so important.
