DES MOINES -- The Iowa Supreme Court is looking into replacing court reporters.  The new system would be all electronic and remove any need for reporters.  Iowa state senator, Keith Kreiman, believes more errors will occur in the new system.  Kreiman says the court reporters in place now do a good job.

“It's very, very, very accurate and it's fairly easy to transcribe,” said Kreiman.  “My concern is if you eliminate the court reporters, that record may not be as accurate and you're probably not going to save any money.
