ALBANY, N.Y. - The local boards of elections are being inundated with calls and emails from voters based on a meme that started in Arizona. “The State Board of Elections would like to advise all voters, the voting machine/scanner will accept and count a ballot marked by any pen, marker or pencil, blue or black ink, ball point, felt-tip or “sharpie”. If you have any questions, please contact the State Board of Elections at 518-474-953 or email INFO@elections.ny.gov.”
