New Voting Machines Present Problems

Kosciusko, Whitley and other counties in the Q101 area could have major problems counting the vote during the May 2nd primary election. That’s because a company installed uncertified software in electronic voting machines those counties bought. If state election officials don’t certify the software in time, the affected counties might have to use hand-counted paper ballots instead. The voting machine company didn’t even submit the software for certification until this week – only two weeks before the election. State officials have threatened heavy fines against the company.
