Voters will be using paper ballots in November’s election unless Johnson County’s touchscreen voting machines are certified for use within two weeks.

Election Systems & Software, the company that sold the touchscreen voting machines to Johnson County, has been seeking state approval for months to use the machines.

To date, the company has not received authorization from the Indiana Election Commission to use a newer version of equipment components called firmware.

The three-member Johnson County Election Board voted Tuesday to scrap the new technology and use paper ballots in the upcoming presidential election unless the company can promise by Aug. 20 that equipment can legally be used.

2. It will be a long two weeks, but let's keep our fingers crossed for paper

ballots, instead of vapor ballots. Glad to see someone is paying attention. If I lived in Indiana, I would gladly run for this open post in Johnson Cnty. I hope a Hoosier DUer is listening...
