"Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf last year began pressing counties to replace their voting machines. Federal authorities had warned Pennsylvania and other states that Russian hackers targeted them during the 2016 presidential election.

Haste and Pries, both Republicans, said it is unfair to place an additional burden on taxpayers when the county already has a hack-proof voting system in place. They questioned why the county should pay millions for a voting system that could create more problems."
