Ginnold, the elections chief, said if the county failed to buy its planned "hybrid" system of mostly optical scanners by January 2007, the federal Help America Vote Act would require any new system be fully accessible to disabled voters. In general, that would mean every machine in every polling place would have to be a touch screen, she said.

Negotiating for a new system "essentially leaves us more options," said Haggerty. "We need to advance into the future."

What the law actually says is that after January 2007, no federal funds may be used to purchase new voting systems that are not fully accessible to disabled voters.
