29 Apr 2017: Las Vegas Review-Journal: Nevada looks at replacing aging voting machines
PIC CAPTION: Larry Korb with Dominion Voting shows new voting machine and tabulation technology Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at the state Capitol in Carson City
by Sanda Chereb
“We’re looking at doing it for 2018,” Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske said of a possible timeline to have new machines in place.
The secretary of state’s office invited two vendors certified in Nevada — Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting — to show off their wares Wednesday in a daylong open house at the Capitol...
It’s not that the machines don’t work. But they need a lot of tinkering...
Both ES&S and Dominion use touch-screen machines and scanners for tabulation...

Counting absentee ballots can slow down tabulation, especially when voters indicate their choices outside the circles or use a check mark instead of filling in the bubble...
The Dominion system includes software that sends a digital copy of the questionable ballot to an adjudication team to examine...

Carlton, who chairs the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, is hoping to find money in the state budget to help pay for the upgrades...
“I think this is a very important thing to do at a midterm, because turnout at a midterm election is typically lower,” Carlton said. “There will be time to transition and get folks ready, and that way, if there’s a problem, we’ll be ready for the presidential year in 2020.”
