Voting Machines In KY
KENTUCKY...
Voters in forty-two counties across Kentucky are expected to vote for the first time on new digital scan voting systems in the upcoming primary election. The system provides a voter verified paper record, something Secretary of State Trey Grayson has encouraged counties to consider when they adopt voting systems. Pike County used the machines in past elections. Seven counties first used the new systems during the 2008 primary election with 27 counties following suit in the 2008 general election. The reviews from voters, precinct officials, and county clerks alike were outstanding. The equipment, called eScans, is a precinct-based voting system that digitally captures voter selections on printed ballots and integrates vote totals from absentee-by-mail and electronic voting systems to produce a single set of election reports.
