Proposals for Voting Machines to Be Sought
Sacramento County election officials are moving toward touch-screen voting machines.
They plan to request proposals this week for a voting system that would provide at least one touch-screen machine each in more than 800 polling places for the Nov. 7 presidential election.
The county has $11 million to buy electronic voting equipment. The funds are provided through state and federal legislation passed after the 2000 presidential election contest in Florida discredited punch-card voting machines, which were once used in Sacramento County.
