Human Errors in Electronic Voting System Give Cali Voters Wrong Ballot

[demdave]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Approximately 7,000 Orange County voters were given the wrong ballots in last week's election by poll workers unfamiliar with a new electronic voting system, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
As a result, many people voted for candidates outside their legislative districts, the newspaper said.

However, "from what we have seen so far, we do not believe any of these instances where people voted in precincts they shouldn't have voted in would have affected any of the races," said Steve Rodermund, Orange County's registrar of voters.

1. Uh huh. And what about the elections in their own districts?

The ones they didn't get to vote in. Hmmm?

2. I was given the wrong ballot twice in Bakersfield

I had to keep asking for the correct ballot.

I couldn't have been the only one, but I was probably one of the few who said anything.
