Paper versus touchscreen is the question surrounding voting
SUMMARY: Oktibbeha County in Mississippi has transitioned from electronic voting machines to paper ballots with scanning machines in anticipation of the state’s directive. Oktibbeha Circuit Clerk Tony Rook stated that most individuals prefer paper ballots as they want to have physical evidence of their votes. The paper ballot used in the county is similar to a scantron card, where voters bubble in their choices before the scanner tabulates the results. Rook also highlighted that having paper ballots provides a paper trail, making it easier to find answers and resolve any questions or disputes about an election.
