NEW BLOOMFIELD - As counties scramble to buy voting machines to comply with federal law, they were forced to pause yesterday to determine if they're in line with a Commonwealth Court decision released Monday
Last month, the Perry County commissioners agreed to buy touch-screen voting machines from Electronic Systems & Software Inc. of Omaha, Neb., for $449,000
Perry County apparently is in the clear because voters approved an electronic voting system in a 1982 referendum
"We are very, very fortunate that we did this back in the early '80s because we avoid this whole situation they are now facing in Westmoreland County," Solicitor Bill Bunt said.
