Marion approves use of electronic voting machines (ES&S)

http://www.saturdaygazettemail.com/section/APNews/News/ap0033r

Tempers flared as the Marion County Commission approved a contract for touch screen voting machines the county will use in November's general election.

Cries of "I want my paper ballot'' echoed through the meeting room Friday as dissenters loudly expressed their disapproval after the commission voted unanimously to sign a contract with Election Systems & Software to provide iVotronic voting machines.

1. This story is from West Virginia

The touch screen machines are in Marion County West Virginia, not Marion County, SC

2. Well Thank God for that. . .

Lord knows voting in Marion County is already screwed up enough as it is without adding electronic voting machines into the mix!
