E-Voting Trouble During Today's Elections in Virginia, New York, and Elsewhere

[virgdem]

21. I just voted in Virginia...

I voted on the electronic touch screen and the candidate for Lt. Governor was completely missing. I called one of the so called helpers and she tried to help me. We could not press the back button-the screen was stuck-so she tried to punch the button and in the process of punching the button, either inadvertently or intentionally cast the ballot for me. I was pissed to say the least. I had to vote for LT Gov by provisional ballot. What a Phucked up system. I wish they'd go back to the optical scanner that was used previously. I just hope that the rest of the ballot was cast as it showed, or my vote didn't count at all. At least my husband didn't have any problems this morning. One thing that I'm glad about-I got to cast a vote for the Attorney General (Herring), and Northam is on track to hopefully win.

These election workers don't know what they are doing. They need additional education on how to properly assist voters who are having problems with these damned electronic machines.
