Antrim County clerk rejects demand, will use electronic tabulators in election
Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy will use electronic vote tabulators in the county s May election, despite demands from county commissioners to rely only on paper ballots and a hand tally of votes.
Guy said in a Monday press release that she is obligated by state law to use an electronic voting system because it was selected by the Secretary of State s office years ago as the uniform voting system for every precinct in the state.
The state of Michigan requires the use of paper ballots that are fed through electronic voting machines or tabulators, ensuring that Antrim County will have a paper record should the Board of Commissioners request a hand recount to verify the electronic tally after canvassing, Guy said.
