LIMA — Participating in the democratic process has never been easier in Allen County. That was the message of the Allen County Board of Elections, which tested its new voter check-in system Tuesday at the board office in the Court of Appeals Building. The board is using the KNOWiNK Poll Pad, an iPad-based voter check-in system that allows poll workers to give voters the correct ballot by swiping their driver’s licenses or state ID cards. “We’ve had a lot of people come in at the beginning, which is great,” board director Ken Terry said.
