Shelby County Election Commission to pick voting machines after secretive bid process

https://wreg.com/news/shelby-county-election-commission-to-pick-voting-machines-after-secretive-bid-process/

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Election Commission wants new machines for voters to use by the local August elections and the national elections in November. They have a budget of around $10 million to buy the machines.

However, critics have questioned the process for selecting a bid, calling it secretive.

A group of local and national advocates and stakeholders came together Tuesday night in a virtual meeting to discuss the issue in a forum called “Lifting The Veil On Shelby County Elections.” They want to see and examine the bids for new voting machines being considered by the election commission.

However, officials so far have not released the information and promised to speak in code at a meeting about it Thursday evening.
