Rokita held a two-hour hearing on the glitches which have plagued E.S. and S. this year from missing ballot instructions to software that can’t handle some school board races.

Rokita has already found the states biggest voting machine supplier Microvote in violation of state standards.

Rokita says the cases are different. In Lawrence County, Clerk Julia Blackwell-Chase says the county is in good shape come May 2nd.
