Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - Erie County's primary election ballots may have to be on paper, instead of in the more traditonal voting booth.

The Board Of Elections says their current machines have been ruled illegal, as part of an upgrade to new technology, but the replacement machines are not yet certified for use.

Speaking on WBEN's politics program, "Hardline with Hardwick," Sunday, elections commissioner Ralph Mohr said paper ballots are the only legal alternative unless the state rescinds the earlier law making current machines un-usable.
