Lee County could have fewer voting precincts in the near future. Circuit clerk Camille Roberts and the county’s election commissioners on Monday unveiled a plan that would reduce the number of voting precincts from 38 to 26. It was a minor change to a plan Roberts presented to Lee County Supervisors last June that called for the elimination of 13 rather than 12 precincts, as reported by Daily Journal local government reporter Caleb Bedillion. The reduction is designed to save the county money on multiple fronts. For one, it would not have to purchase as many ballot scanners when it begins replacing those machines that are placed at each precinct.
