State elections officials in Miami-Dade County on Tuesday began testing new electronic voting machine software designed to correct a glitch in the equipment's ability to audit election results.

They expect to know by Thursday if the software is ready to be certified by the state in time for the Aug. 31 primary election.

Paul Craft, in charge of certifying voting systems for Florida, said if the tests work out, he'll fly back to Tallahassee to give the findings to Secretary of State Glenda Hood.

Craft said the revised software could be certified for Miami-Dade, Broward and eight other counties that use the Electronic Systems & Software, or ES&S, equipment within a week.
