And The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the state of Ohio today to replace antiquated punch card ballot machines. The ACLU argues that punch card ballots are more likely to go uncounted than votes cast with other systems. In Ohio, which is a battleground state, most of the African American population lives in counties that use the punch card system. With 99 days until the election, some voting experts say there would not be time to make a conversion to a different ballot system. The punch card ballots are used in 69 of Ohio’s 88 counties, representing nearly 73 percent of registered voters. Several other states sued by the ACLU have reached settlements to replace the punch-card ballots.
