Start Of Pa. Election On Hold Due To Ballot Delay

[BumRushDaShow]

18. When I did vote-by-mail here in PA this past June, they sent paper ballots with the ovals to fill in

I sent it back right away and it was registered.

And last year, what happened here in PA, was when counties were directed to get a voting process with a verified paper trail, Philly metro and its surrounding counties, that generally had the same types of "membrane" machines, went their own ways, so some have the fill-in-the-oval and feed the ballot into the scanner yourself at the polling site types and Philly went with those damn ES&S touchscreen machines, where your ballot disappears into the machine - despite the protest from many groups and some lawsuits.

Our election board's concern supposedly was that they were more "handicapped accessible" (they come with a joystick to navigate through the screen pages and select candidates/question responses for those needing one) and supposedly would be a better transition in terms of "look", compared to the previous flat membrane/push button panel voting machines that we had previously -



But the problem is ES&S.
