Ros Against The Machines

By Kleinheider Posted on September 26, 2008 at 5:24 pm

Ed Cromer explains the machinery that Senator Rosalin Kurita will be up against in her write-in bid for her state senate seat:

In the meantime, of course, Kurita seeks to win the election as a write-in candidate. Perhaps aiding her cause is the fact that Cheatham County will be using paper ballots and an optical-scan system during the 15-day early voting period, which begins Oct. 15.

On Election Day, Cheatham and Houston counties will use E-Slate machines, which allow voters to turn a dial to select letters for write-in votes. Montgomery County uses the MicroVote Infinity machines, on which voters may push a button and then type in a name.

But Kurita has relatively little time to raise money and get mail out educating voters on the procedures.
