[S-H] Harrison County Goes Back to Paper Balloting
The Sun Herald announces that Harrison County will be going back to paper balloting because of problems with touch screen machines:
County supervisors on Monday voted to spend almost $240,000 for 85 optical scan voting machines and to sell some of the widely criticized touch-screen machines to offset costs.
Circuit Clerk Gayle Parker pushed for a return to the paper balloting system after a spate of problems reported with the touch screens used in recent elections. Some machines wouldn’t work and some had battery malfunctions. Several counties reported similar difficulties. The county must keep at least one touch-screen machine for disabled voters at each of its 68 precincts.
