Indiana counties are finally getting money from the state to add a critical election security measure to their electronic voting machines.

Indiana counties that use electronic voting machines are finally getting enough money from the state to equip all those machines with paper backup systems.

A proposal for improving Indiana's election security by adding small printers to thousands of electronic touch-screen voting machines is being criticized by voting rights groups as relying on ineffective and outdated technology.

The Indiana House has reversed course, restoring language in a bill that will move up the deadline for counties to install a vital election security measure.

Lawmakers want to move up the deadline for counties to add a critical election security measure to their voting machines.

More than half of Indiana's 92 counties have voting machines without a paper backup. Election security experts say those backups are critical to electoral integrity.
