SACRAMENTO ---- The state's chief elections official will sharply restrict electronic voting machines in the Feb. 5 elections, and a long list of new security requirements she issued late Friday night leaves questions for even the handful of voters who might need them.Secretary of State Debra Bowen laid out new conditions for the touch-screen terminals and electronically scanned paper ballots that the vast majority of California's counties had planned to use in the February presidential primaries. Riverside, San Bernardino and a dozen other counties that use Sequoia Edge touch screens will have to limit their use to one per polling place. Similar restrictions will apply to several other counties, including San Diego, that use touch screens made by Diebold Election Systems.
