Voting Machine Problems in Newport News, Va. Beach
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Elections spokeswoman Rose Mansfield says there have been problems with 32 touchscreen voting machines that were preventing voters from casting accurate ballots.
The elections department issued a statement saying the broken machines were taken out of service immediately and there were enough working machines to prevent any voting delays.
Virginia voters are deciding races for U.S. Senate and the state's 11 congressional seats.

I'm not sure what the conspiracy is as there is a video of machine switching the selection to the Democrat and state GOP leaders are calling for a switch to paper ballots. Even innocent calibration issues that led to 1 misvote is too many.

Appears similar issues were in North Carolina where Democrats are more likely to show up polls rather than early vote according to video at link
