A U.S. District Court in Philadelphia will hold an evidentiary hearing on October 28, at 1 p.m, in NAACP v Cortes, no. 08-cv-5048. This is the case filed October 23 that seeks to compel elections officials to provide emergency paper ballots in precincts, if half or more of the electronic vote-counting machines in that precinct break down. Current policy is that precincts will not be supplied with emergency paper ballots until all the machines break down.
