Mississippi counties among first in the nation to use more ‘transparent’ voting machines, software.
Some Mississippi counties have opted to move away from traditional voting machines and voting software sold by large scale companies and, instead, transitioned to machines maintained by a nonprofit that focuses on making the mechanics of voting more transparent.
VotingWorks, a nonprofit company founded in 2018, first unveiled some of its voting machines in five counties in the Magnolia State, making rural Mississippi areas some of the first in the nation to purchase these types of voting machines and use “open-source” software. Now, the organization partners with around 14 jurisdictions in Mississippi for elections-related business.
