There are 2 ways to upgrade a paperless machine while still keeping that electronic voting approach. You can attach a voter-verified paper audit trail, or VVPAT — essentially a printer — to your existing machine. Or you can buy a new ballot marking device, w/ printer built in. — PolitiTweet.org

So what's holding up progress in the states w/ mandates? As my reporting found, a huge factor is cost. “Finances dictate a lot,” Sherry Brown, the clerk of Harrison County, IN, told me. “Many of our counties are not very affluent.” Lots of small, rural counties in these states. — PolitiTweet.org

Both of these options are expensive, often prohibitively so for small counties. VVPATs range from $1,800 https://t.co/VU151gBEal to $2,230 https://t.co/fK9Z747E8C (& could be higher). BMDs can cost more than $5,000 each. Plus, you need to buy scanners for the paper ballots. — PolitiTweet.org
