Reply #13: Ohio's system works well for voters By Rep. DAVID DANIELS

As a result of the study, the secretary of state has suggested that 57 Ohio counties replace their systems and has called on Ohio legislators to mandate local boards to offer paper ballots to those individuals who do not want to use the equipment provided by the local boards.

The cost of this recommendation could be well in the millions of dollars that would be borne by the taxpayers of this state, and in most cases by the counties affected.

In my opinion, our local boards of elections do a great job running elections in this state and in our district.

Local control and decision making at the county level by a bipartisan elections board has always been reliable and accurate.

To force 57 counties to change their system when they have had no evidence of inaccuracy or attempted fraud is costly and unnecessary.
