Jefferson County Voters Continue To Raise Concerns About Voting Machines

[Ferret Annica]

Early voting for the November election started Monday, and during this first week of it, Jefferson County has experienced high turnout.
By the end of Saturday, which was the sixth day of early voting, the Jefferson County Clerk's office was reporting that 7,416 had cast ballots.

When you add the number of absentee ballots mailed in, turnout stands at 7,774 voters.
Rogers Park (2,200 voters) and the Nederland Recreation Center (1,673 voters) have seen the most voters of all the nine early voting sites in the county.
Early voting runs through Friday, November 3rd.

KFDM continues to get complaints from Jefferson County voters who say the electronic voting machines are not registering their votes correctly.
Friday night, KFDM reported about people who had cast straight Democratic ticket ballots, but the touch-screen machines indicated they had voted a straight Republican ticket.
Some of those voters including Lamar University professor, Dr. Bruce Drury, believe the problem is a programming error.

Saturday, KFDM spoke to another voter who says it's not just happening with straight ticket voting, he says it's happening on individual races as well, Jerry Stopher told us when he voted for a Democrat, the Republican's name was highlighted.

Have you ever heard of someone voting straight republican ticket and the machine registering the vote as straight democratic ticket? I am yet to read or hear such a story.

Yeah, I'm sure that voting next week will help US win the election. I'm not at all worried when I hear stories like this.

Sure...vote for a Dem, get a repub on your screen. What's so wrong about that.

Nothing to see here, move along.

We're Fucked.

4. Oh great.... this is my county. We are

a blue county, mostly due to the large number of union members as well as minorities. If our county isn't blue this election, you can be damn sure it was tampered with.
