Onondaga County finds itself near the top of a list of counties that encountered problems with their new voting machines during primary elections. Some of the biggest problems included voter privacy and ballot confusion. The State Comptroller’s report cited at least ten different problems with the new ImageCast machines in Onondaga County during the primary. One of the problems cited was a lack of privacy as voters walk over to insert their ballots into the machine. "We did handout privacy sleeves they weren't always used," said Elections Commissioner Hellen Kiggins Walsh. "The inspectors, especially in areas that weren't pilot towns last year, tended to hover around the machines. It was the first time they had used it as a scanner."
