DENVER (AP) - State leaders on Wednesday backed off a plan to switch to paper ballots this year, leaving counties free to use electronic voting machines that were considered unfit until about a month ago.
Gov. Bill Ritter and many lawmakers had pushed for paper ballots in 2008 but reversed themselves after opposition from county clerks.
Secretary of State Mike Coffman had decertified most of the electronic equipment used in Colorado in December, citing accuracy and security concerns. But he recertified all of it after testing new changes and talking to county clerks.
