Lane: New Election Machinery Will Be Welcome

I am not here to tell you that the Elections Systems & Software company’s DS850 high-speed scanner and tabulator will improve democracy in Volusia County.But at least we’ll know earlier on election night which ill-qualified candidate a confused electorate picked by a narrow margin.And doesn’t that count for something?I speak as a person who spent many late-night hours in the basement of the historic Volusia County Courthouse in DeLand watching piles of ballots being fed into the current tabulating machines.
