Judge Warns NC Touch-Screen Voters
Touch-Screens Are Sensitive
POSTED: 9:15 am EDT October 31, 2010
A federal judge in North Carolina says voters must be warned that touch-screen voting machines are sensitive and poll workers will need to keep detailed records of complaints about the machines during next week's elections.The ruling issued Saturday stems from a lawsuit filed by the state Republican Party against the State Board of Elections a day earlier.The lawsuit alleges touch-screen machines were thwarting voters trying to cast early ballots for GOP candidates.In his temporary order, Judge Malcolm Howard also requires that records from the iVotronic Voting Machines be preserved.Thirty-five counties use the machines for one-stop voting and 23 use them on Election Day.Early voting ended Saturday.State officials dispute Republican contentions that the machines are flawed.
