Vote Machines Are Not Ready vote machines are not ready
Suburban Cook county will have voting machines in the April primary despite a $1,000,000 bond approval Nov 4 and may have none until 1949. The county board opened its first regular meeting after budget action, with Elizabeth Conkey sending the Jamestown NY plan to the public service committee to combine precincts. Flynn questioned legal precinct merging and proposed adding 30 to 85 precincts to stay within 800-voter limits, aiming discussions at Jan 29 city council and Jan 30 board meeting. The county board declined a $375,000 extra for 10 cities and prep for a mandamus suit was hinted. a first canvass of 350,000 registered voters will occur before summer due to a $19,000 budget item to verify registrations. A letter from Edward M. Martin praising civic cooperation was filed, with 12 agencies backing machine modernization including the Chicago Association of Commerce and Rotary Club.
