Voters Try New Machines in County Primary
Grant Two precincts used a voting machine for the first time in the Monday primary. The device automates tallying, opens and closes privacy curtains, and prints totals after polls close. Grant No 1 faced a tally sheet delay but a repair fixed it. One hundred ten voters cast at Grant No 1 with ten absentee ballots. The system will be used in future county, state, and national elections.
