BEAVER COUNTY VOTERS WILL CONTINUE TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS DIGITALLY NEXT YEAR. EARLIER THIS WEEK, THE LAWRENCE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGREED TO A NEARLY 700-THOUSAND DOLLAR CONTRACT WITH PRECINCT SCAN, WHICH WILL REQUIRE VOTERS TO FILL OUT A PAPER BALLOT AT THE POLLS. OFFICIALS HERE IN BEAVER COUNTY SAY THEY DO NOT INTEND TO REVERT TO PAPER BALLOTS WHEN NEW VOTING MACHINES ARE PURCHASED.
