2 Of 3 Tests Of New Ballot Scanners Fail
CLEVELAND -- The third time was the charm for pretest of the new optical ballot scanners at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. Chief Investigator Duane Pohlman reported that the board ran two tests of the scanners on Friday, and during both tests, the computer repeatedly showed an error message.
However, a third test ran successfully.
