The RPI press release linked to in the story noted a blended system, but that was copied from Story County's election security policy, which noted that the county had chosen a blended system of paper ballot scanners and touchscreens to comply with HAVA. This was, apparently, not a reference to the equipment to be used in the poll.

The server that will program the ballot scanners in the straw poll, and the scanners themselves have, grave security concerns: see below, the exec.summary, pages 32-40 and then pages 52-58.
