Suburban Cook County voters to use new 'intuitive' devices at check-in

Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough announced the purchase of the 4,500 new e-poll devices that will be used in the June 28 primary.
The equipment uses secure iPad applications to check in voters at every poll location in suburban Cook County, Yarbrough said at a news conference Thursday. That means poll workers won't need to check in voters by finding their names on bulky paper ledgers.
