Effort to force ballot hand-counting rejected again by SD court

An effort to force Lawrence County to count election ballots by hand and rid the county of electronic machines was turned away Friday by a circuit court judge. Nichole Braithwait had filed suit against the Lawrence County Commission and its commissioners after they failed to certify a petition drive that would have put the issue to a public vote. Braithwait wanted to eliminate the county’s use of electronic voting machines and electronic vote tabulators, which would require election results to be based off of hand-counted tallies.
