"San Joaquin keeps its touch-screen voting"

"San Joaquin County is going to stay with the Diebold Inc. touch-screen voting system and let the company iron out its problems, said the county's registrar of voters, Deborah Hench.

"The state is willing to retest them at any time," she said.

During a test in July, the secretary of state determined there were problems with the Diebold system.

Hench said the problems -- paper jams and screens freezing up during the voting tests -- weren't as bad as reported.

During the July test, about nine of 96 machines had paper jams, and 21 screens froze, she said."

Here is the article.
