SC's Voting Machines

South Carolina has selected a voting machine that provides the state with a dependable system to enhance the security and resilience of the election process. Having a paper record of each voter’s voted ballot will add an additional layer of security as it allows for audits of paper ballots to verify vote totals. The two-step process incorporates touch screen technology supported by a printed copy of a voter's selections. The hard copy is scanned by the voter into a second machine which stores the votes both electronically and on paper.
