Georgia Record: Spalding County may soon be recognized as one of the first Georgia Counties to move away from the broadly distrusted voting machines and return to paper ballots, thereby leading the way for other Georgia Counties.
Last evening, in a 5-0 vote, the Spalding County Board of Commissioners voted to reduce the Board of Elections budget by $85,000. This reduction creates a situation for the Board of Elections which is charged with managing open, fair and transparent elections but now would have less funds necessary to cover the use of voting machines. The potential solution? Go to paper ballots.
Many will recall that the City of Milton voted several months ago to move away from elections using voting machines which were being administered by Fulton County. Milton made this decision after discovering a savings of $250,000 could be captured in just the first year.
