Curiosity

Hi, I am making a huge effort but without satisfactory results. Do any of you, an expert or better still a Cleveland citizen who remembers, or has voted with this system, know when the city started adopting punch card systems? Am I wrong to venture perhaps in the seventies? The system, the Votomatic if I'm not mistaken, was retired about twenty years ago, again in Cleveland, and its county. After exhausting unfortunate searches I am here; can someone help me to remove my great curiosity? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.99.203 (talk) 20:41, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

According to a Cincinnati Enquirer article dated November 4, 1974, Hamilton County, Ohio, was going to use the Votomatic for the first time in that month's election. There are other articles about various places in Ohio adopting the system in that decade too, e.g. Clinton and Fairfield Counties in November 1976, Logan in November 1977. So it seems you're in the right ballpark. I'm not seeing anything specifically about Cleveland in newspapers.com, though. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
