Hinds rejects used voting machines
Hinds County supervisors say they want to discard the county’s 8-year-old, $1.5 million voting system and start anew.
The Board of Supervisors denied a request Monday by some election commissioners to purchase 300 used voting machines. Instead, the board wants the commission to shop for a new system, such as an optical scanning system that would allow for better auditing of records.
“We need to enhance our ability to conduct elections with innovation,” Board President Robert Graham said.
