Voting machines also said several key counties had zero votes for Harris despite many ballots that were otherwise straight dem tickets. See, usually the local races at the bottom are the ones people tend to ignore. People show up for the top line races. I’m sure it’s nothing. Anyway reading is woke
Elon must really not of wanted that library budget…
Article makes no mention of why the machines were wrong? Anyone have insight into that? Have we found root cause on the failure?
People here obviously aren’t going to read the article but as it turns out they did a recount because they determined some ballots had the ovals and text overlapping and so they were worried it would mess with things.
The recount somehow resulted in basically every issue mentioned receiving more votes for and more votes against. The cited library vote was only missing a dozen nos but missed hundreds of yesses.
It appears somehow the misprint of the ballots likely caused a bunch of votes to not get counted
We (humanity) have literally been doing elections for thousands of years. We’re really good at designing systems that both parties can agree are fair.
Voting machines just fundamentally discards experience.
This is why every election should have an auditable paper trail. And it should be audited. If nothing else at least it can be recounted by hand if there is a question.
