Video captures glitching Mississippi voting machines flipping votes
[Naked Security] "It is not letting me vote for who I want to vote for," a Mississippi voter said in a video that shows him repeatedly pushing a button on an electronic touch-screen voting machine that keeps switching his vote to another candidate.

On Tuesday morning, the date of Mississippi's Republican primary election for governor, the video was posted to Twitter...

...and to Facebook by user Sally Kate Walker, who wrote this as a caption:

Ummmm ... seems legit, Mississippi.

Walker said in a comment that the incident happened in Oxford, Miss., in Lafayette County. A local paper, the Clarion Ledger, reported that as of Tuesday night, there were at least three reports confirmed by state elections officials of voting machines in two counties changing voters' selections in the state's GOP governor primary runoff.

The machines were switching voters' selections from Bill Waller Jr.- a former Supreme Court Chief justice ‐ to Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves. Waller's campaign told the Clarion Ledger it also received reports of misbehaving voter machines in at least seven other counties.

Waller conceded to Reeves around 9 p.m. on Tuesday night. With Reeves leading 54% to Waller's 46%, it looks unlikely that the glitches affected the outcome.

Before the malfunctioning machine was discovered in Lafayette County, the machine ‐ reportedly a paperless AccuVote TSX from Diebold - only recorded 19 votes, according to Anna Moak, a spokeswoman for the Secretary of State's Office. A technician was dispatched, and the machine is being replaced, she said.

#1 If it happens, go demand a paper ballot and file a formal complaint. There needs to be a ton of sunshine on this as possible. I still believe vote fraud is an act of treason and should be punished by death.

#2 ...and during the general election, it will 'default' to the Dem candidate.

#3 Unbelievable GOP didn't make a 50 state push for paper ballots during all the Russians stole our votes nonsense. They'd have gotten liberals eating up the message and the liberal politicians would have been unable to publicly explain why their party needs electronic voting machines.
