With less than a month before Jacksonville returns to the polls to elect a new mayor, Duval County’s Supervisor of Elections is testing the equipment that will be used. It’s to make sure the count will be accurate.
It’s something they do before every election and what they’re doing is actually going to check the accuracy of scanners, the machines that you put your ballots into. There has been a lot of concern in past elections about this.The scanners were chosen at random and they are actual machines used at precincts and early voting sites.
“The last time I was here, I had plenty of questions about that,” Garrett said. “The IT director here explained it to me very carefully, have observed their physical and logical security is much better than other places are reported to have.”Regardless of election’s outcome, Jacksonville’s next mayor will be worth more than $1 million
