LA's InkaVote method may be recertified, but others face starting from scratch with a primary election looming.
County election officials scrambled on Saturday to develop contingency plans for the February presidential primary election after California's secretary of state imposed broad restrictions on electronic voting machines that she said are susceptible to hacking.

She said some of the systems could be recertified in time for the primary if new security upgrades are made.
