From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved replacing the county’s 6-year-old touch-screen voting machines with newer models equipped with printers to comply with state law that mandates paper confirmation for all electronic votes cast.

Spending $14.2 million on new machines is necessary because the older devices cannot be retrofitted in time for the June gubernatorial election, according to Barbara Dunmore of the county registrar of voters.
