Lancaster County is short 45 voting machines of the required number required by state law, and there’s not much the county can do about it.
“The election commission is an unfunded mandate,” said Rick Crimminger, Lancaster County Election Commission chairman. “The state says we got to have it, but doesn’t fund it. When you have this kind of growth, you got to deal with it.
“It used to be 35,000 registered voters in the county and now it’s up to 58,000,” he said.
