Reply #48: SC: Counties sticking with touch-screen voting machines

[tbyg52]

Many voters across the country will use paper ballots when they go to the polls in November.

But not in York and Chester counties, or in any other county in the state.

Despite concerns by officials in other states about the accuracy of electronic voting, South Carolina is sticking with the touch-screen machines it has used since 2004.

"We're confident in the system and it's worked well for us," said Chris Whitmire, spokesman for the State Election Commission. "We haven't experienced the same type of problems that other states apparently have had. We feel like we're using one of the most advanced voting systems in the world and it's accurate and it's secure and easy to use."
