The Justice Department is suing two rural Rusk County communities over their decision to scrap their electronic voting machines.
The Biden Administration filed its lawsuit last week against Thornapple and Lawrence townships. Both communities voted last year to stop using their electronic voting machines. The DOJ complaint says federal law requires at least one electronic voting machine at each polling place so that disabled voters have an option. Lawrence Township leaders say they’ve already settled with the Justice Department and will bring their electronic machine back. Thornapple Township is fighting the case.
