Elections supervisor Lester Sola said in a memo Friday that he reached his conclusion based on declining voter confidence in the paperless touch-screen machines and election-day labor costs that have quadrupled with them.
County Manager George Burgess forwarded Sola's report to county commissioners, who have to decide whether to get rid of the machines. But Burgess cautioned that he must give a careful review to Sola's recommendation to get rid of the machines that the county bought for $24.5 million three years ago.
...The county would be the first place in the nation to ditch the iVotronics machines for paper-based balloting, said a spokesman for Election Systems & Software of Omaha, Neb., the company that makes the devices.
