PA County Reports Voting Machine Issues Affecting Republican Ballots
[DAILYWIRE] Voting machines in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, caused concern this week when registered Republicans and independent voters were seeing Democrat-labeled ballots on primary day.

Eyewitness News reported Tuesday that they had "received numerous calls from concerned citizens reporting issues with voting machines improperly labeling Republican ballots as Democrat."

"Because it’s a primary, Democrats and Republicans or independent non-partisans, have a different ballot," explained Carl Romanelli, a judge with Luzerne County Board of Elections. "When you got into the ballot marking devices, the header on all of the ballots indicates that it’s a Democratic ballot, but then when you proceed to the actual ballot itself, it is the proper ballot for the voter’s party. And when the ballot is printed, it shows that it is in fact the proper ballot."

Bob Morgan, Director of Elections in Luzerne County, released a statement noting that the issue was caused by a "coding error." He later emphasized that the problem was not caused by the county and that they are working with voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems to figure out what went wrong.
Prolly because all those unemployed Democrats Journalists have "learned to code"?
"Due to a coding error the Republican primary ballot in today’s Municipal Primary election contains an error in the header when displayed on the viewing screen," Morgan said in a statement. "This error occurred during vendor programming of the device and appears on Republican ballots countywide. The ballot correctly shows Republican candidates, however, the header of the ballot says ’Democrat.'"

#2 Coding error?

Does Dominion have such Piss Poor Quality Assurance that such a Blindingly Obvious bug can get thru it?

And does the county have such Piss Poor Acceptance Testing that they would simply let it thru?

Those are serious questions. Because if not, then somebody should be in jail for a rather long time.

#3 ^Absolutely. I've worked under any number of "Directors" whose only job was to see product shipped on time. Period. Lots of folks made shit tons of money. Some had to flee the country. That was back in the 90's. Good times.

#4 A coding error... in something as simple as printing one of two headers on a ballot. That does not inspire confidence.

CrazyFool makes good points about Acceptance Tests and Quality Assurance. Incompetence, or signs of more sinister changes done at the last minute?

#5 One has to consider the constraints of QA. The question is always "What are the defects we are willing to live with?" It's always been interesting to watch a long logged "Show Stopper" ticket evolve to "Fix In Revision".

Time to move the equipment to Pennsylvania, and end any confusion about "Free and Fair elections" and the consequences of not providing one.

"...working with voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems to figure out what went wrong."


I guess the problem is not the machines again had a pro Socialist/Democrat counting error. But that the voters were able to spot the counting error.

#8 Funny how all errors with Dominion Voting Systems machines go in one direction...

#9 Dominion: we tested our voting system extensively
Imaginary reporter: how many Republican selected candidate ballots did you test with?
Dominion: thousands and we successfully flipped them to Democrat candidates. Next question please.

#10 Ahhhh the amazing POWER one can posses with a Dominion "Admin" password. Especially if your name is Quintisha.

#11 What were/are the reasons for not counting ballots the way ballots are counted in Canada? I've never found a discussion on this topic. Voting machines have always seemed to serve but one purpose - lining someone's pockets. Their secondary purpose - election fraud - has moved to the fore.
