David Yates

Today, the Jefferson County Board of Elections inspected voting equipment that will be used during the upcoming midterm elections.

County Clerk David Yates says his county will be ready, and he warned people not to believe the myths about the election process.

If you look at this warehouse and these machines, no machines are hooked to the internet, despite, uh, the misinformation that's been put out.

Uh, everything is done correctly, and that's why it's important that this board, uh, is bipartisan, comes in, inspects, and signs off.

This initiative will expand accessibility for residents with disabilities who may struggle to vote at traditional polling locations.

Jefferson County Clerk David Yates, a Democrat, posted on X along with a video of his announcement.

More than one in four U.S. adults live with some type of disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one of the most common being mobility issues.

Jefferson County is home to more than half a million registered voters and is a Democratic stronghold in a mostly red state.
