The West Virginia Secretary of State’s office is standing firm in its support of electronic voting machines, despite security and accuracy concerns raised by other states.
“We are comfortable moving forward with the voting systems we have in place,” Deputy Secretary of State and agency spokeswoman Sarah Bailey said Wednesday, just weeks after top officials in Ohio and Colorado declared such machines unfit for elections.
Thirty-four West Virginia counties use Election Systems and Software’s iVotronic touch-screen machines. They became widely used across the state before the 2006 primary and were purchased as part of a $3 billion nationwide conversion laid out in the federal Help America Vote Act.
