No new voting machines will be in place for Utah's general election in November, members of a committee charged with spending more than $20 million to replace the state's punch-card system decided Thursday.
"The last thing we want to do is make a mistake," State Elections Director Amy Naccarato said after the decision by the Voting Equipment Selection Committee to study how the various types of new machines perform in other states in November before making a choice.
Naccarato said there continues to be concerns about the security of the computerized machines. "While some of that we feel is valid, some of that is political," she said. "We know that perception is reality, and the perception is the machines aren't ready."

2. That's good. Probably a non-issue to me since there are not

any Democrats in Utah. Well, maybe fifteen or so.
