After a contentious meeting on Tuesday, the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections voted to abandon the state’s new digital voting machines in favor of paper ballots. WUGA's Sofi Gratas, who reported on the machines in January, joins Chris Shupe to talk about the switch and what it means for future elections.
Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
