Humid weather blamed for paper jam in Marion's voting machines
From staff reports   Hattiesburg American    07 August 2007

Sticky, humid weather is being blamed for voting machine paper jams that occurred in at least one-third of the 23 Marion County voting precincts this morning.

“I’ve driven 120 miles,” said Janette Nolan, deputy circuit clerk who is coordinating the elections and making sure the machines are running. All the jams were fixed before 10 a.m.

The paper jams caused no delays for voters, Nolan said, and did not impact voting numbers. The jam only makes it impossible for voters to see their ballots in print, Nolan said.
