Baltimore County Abandons Voting Machines November 7
Baltimore County will not use voting machines in the upcoming general election. Election supervisors announced after a recent change of plan that printing a special ballot could not be completed in time. About 70 machines were set up across 24 polling places, with 300 machines purchased after the September primary. The prior plan to mix machines and paper ballots was dropped following a circuit court ruling on a taxpayer suit.
