Director of Mecklenburg County Board of Elections, Michael Dickerson, said he has full faith in the system.
"I have to test every piece of equipment before I send it out," he said. "I know the equipment will work."
Dickerson said his board voted unanimously in favor of the new machines, while the North Carolina Board of Elections voted 3-2 in favor.
The new machines and process will cost between $10-11 million dollars, all of it funded by local taxpayers since the state nor federal governments contributed any funding.
