A northern Michigan county that was sued over its counting of the fall election will count ballots by hand in the May 4 primary. 

Antrim County commissioners turned down a request from the county clerk for money to prepare Dominion voting machines for the upcoming election. 

Commissioners instead say ballots will be counted by hand, although Clerk Sheryl Guy says it could be illegal.
