MY TURN, McCoy-Lawrence: Voters aren’t getting voting system they deserve

By Christe McCoy-Lawrence, exclusive to Statehouse Report | The League of Women Voters of South Carolina is, of course, distressed that the state has chosen to pay more money to get less of a voting system than what it could have obtained and than what the citizens of South Carolina deserve.

We had hoped for a new voting system that was primarily hand-marked paper ballots scanned at the precinct. We know that such a system could have been acquired for about half the cost of the planned new system.
