NH offers money to help replace old ballot-counting machines

New Hampshire will funnel federal funds to towns and cities to help them replace old ballot-counting machines. The Secretary of State’s office said Monday that municipalities can get $3,500 per device to replace existing AccuVote machines while towns that hand-count ballots can get the money to buy one machine. The money can also be used instead to purchase e-poll books, digital systems to keep track of eligible voters. The one-time offer is funded through the federal Help America Vote Act. Each machine costs around $6,000. David Brooks, Concord Monitor.
