NY Groups Audit Polling Places For Access
ROCHESTER, NY, March 8, 2004 -- A disability rights group visited polling places during last Tuesday's Democratic primary and found some new and some old barriers to voters with disabilities.
According to a brief story in Friday's Democrat and Chronicle newspaper, board members and staff members of the Regional Center for Independent Living (RCIL) visited eight election sites that had problems with access last November. They found barriers at five of those locations.
