Carper wants vote machines replaced over Election Day jams
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The president of the Kanawha County Commission wants Electronic Equipment & Software to replace two ballot-counting machines that consistently jammed when tabulating ballots on Election Day.
"We have had serious problems with the M650s [vote-counting machines] since the first time they were placed in service," Kent Carper wrote in a letter sent on Monday to Also Tesi, president and CEO of ES&S, based in Omaha, Neb.
No one at ES&S could be reached for comment late Monday afternoon.
