    34-2421.  PROCEDURE IF A VOTING MACHINE BECOMES INOPERATIVE. (1) If any
voting machine used in any election precinct, during or before the time the
polls are opened, becomes damaged so as to render it inoperative in whole or
in part, an election board clerk immediately shall notify the election officer
charged with the care of the machine.
    (2)  If possible, the election officer so notified shall repair the
machine at once or substitute another machine for the damaged machine.
    (3)  If no other machine can be procured for use at the election and the
damaged machine cannot be repaired in time for further use at the election, or
where in the discretion of a majority of the members of the election board it
is impracticable to use the machine, the election board shall permit the
voters to use paper ballots prepared as in cases where paper ballots are used.
The paper ballots shall be furnished to the election board by the county
clerk. The paper ballots shall be issued, voted and deposited in ballot boxes
in as nearly the same manner as provided by law, except that the paper ballots
shall not be tallied and returned by the election board. Instead, these paper
ballots shall be delivered to the county clerk for his tally and canvass.
