He said a lot of people want the referendum added to the ballot. Don Fitch explained that many people lack knowledge of basic civics and discussed lies about election fraud. Antionette Fitch spoke about the negative effect conservative grassroots groups have had on Pennsylvania. THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONER'S RESPONSE Commissioner Irey Vaughan addressed the issue raised by Fern Sibert and said the Board does not have the authority to increase littering fines, because this is a state legislative responsibility. THE SOLICITOR'S RESPONSE Solicitor Grimm addressed the legality of the question to eliminate electronic voting machines on the November ballot as follows: First, the law clearly prohibits referenda regarding whether to use electronic voting systems. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the case of Ku�Znik v. 1rIestmoreland County Board of Commissioners held that conditioning the use of electronic voting systems on the result of a referendum was barred by the federal law known as the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires the adoption of electronic voting systems. Specifically, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined that holding such a referendum "would directly impede the goals of the HAVA legislation, including and most importantly accessibility for disabled voters." Accordingly, the Court held that HAVA preempts the referendum requirements of Article XI -A of the PA election code. The Court also concluded that two separate systems of voting — with a HAVA- compliant system for federal elections and a separate mechanical lever system for municipal elections — violates the unitary voting requirements of Pennsylvania law and under xuned the improved voter access requirements found in HAVA. In essence, counties are required to same system for both general and municipal elections. Because the referendum provision of 25 P.S. § 30 'has been mpted by federal law, any TWftnl referendum conducted under this provision would se egal purposeuld therefore be nonbinding r and advisory only. The Commonwealth Court of Plvania has held that btx ` of election lack the legal authority to place nonbinding referendum questions on ots. In the of He School District P. MM- " F_r.
