Election Commission:  Only 5 Wisconsin County Clerks Need New Computers For Voting

The problem with aging computers for local election managers in Wisconsin isn’t as bad as state officials had feared.  The Election Commission says it is scaling back its purchase of new computers.  It was worried that hundreds of new computers would be needed, but commissioners say it will only be necessary to buy five.  The commission was concerned that outdated machines were vulnerable to hackers, but the situation turned out to be better than anticipated.
