OMR voting equipment; prohibit from being capable of establishing wireless connections during an election.

Summary

HB 858 amends state election statutes to require that optical mark recognition (OMR) voting equipment cannot establish any wireless connections while in use on Election Day. The same restriction is built into the Mississippi Voting Modernization Grant program, so counties can only receive grant money for machines that lack wireless capability. The measure is intended to reduce the risk of remote tampering with voting equipment.
