Amid false 2020 claims, GOP states eye voting system upgrade

Indiana Secretary of State Holli Sullivan demonstrates an upgraded electronic voting machine at her Indiana Statehouse office in Indianapolis on March 17, 2022. State officials plan on spending about $12 million to add printers like the one at the right of the voting booth that display a printout allowing voters to see how their vote is recorded and create a paper record for the previously paperless machines.

Jeff Yarbro, D-Nashville, debates a proposal allowing faith-based adoption agencies to decline to place children with same-sex couples because of their religious belief without facing penalties on the first day of the 2020 legislative session Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, in Nashville, Tenn. Election security experts for years have urged states to replace outdated voting machines. They say systems that include a paper record of every ballot cast would mean that any disputed results can be verified. Most took that path, but six states did not, five of them Republican-led. But with false claims still swirling around the 2020 presidential election, some GOP voters don't trust voting machines. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
