A few South Carolina lawmakers are hoping to use surplus money to pay for a new voting system.
The lawmakers met with the media on Tuesday to talk about legislation.
The bi-partisan panel said it wants to make sure voters feel their vote counted and was counted correctly.
They also want to look in to wait times and at the long hours poll workers work, often with no break.
The goal is increased confidence in state elections.
“I think the biggest thing we would like to see is a paper ballot or paper receipt to where that people can walk out of the polling place and see ‘ok these are the people I have voted for and my vote was recorded, and my vote will count,’” said Senator Thomas McElveen (D), of Sumter.
