Elections Director Jane Platten On Switch To Paper Ballots

On March 4th, it's back to basics for voters in Cuyahoga County. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner ordered the switch to a paper ballot system after losing confidence in the county's touch screen machines. So on March 4th voters will fill out paper ballots that will then be transported to a central location to be counted. The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has been working around the clock to handle the transition. She spoke with ideastream®'s Eric Wellman.
