Electronic Voting Problems Reported in Ohio

HeadlineNov 09, 2007

In election news, more problems with electronic voting machines have emerged. On Tuesday, machines made by Election Systems & Software malfunctioned in Lawrence County, Ohio. Every vote cast went to the wrong candidate. One local official said: “It was a programming error and that race got recorded exactly opposite. I don’t know what happened.” Officials realized the problem at the end of the day when the voting machine printed out one set of results and a tabulation machine at the country’s headquarters flipped the numbers.
