Voting Machine Glitch Causes Ballot Trouble in Northampton County during Election 2023
Officials in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, have reported a glitch with their voting machines during the election, specifically affecting the recording of votes for the retention race for Pennsylvania Superior Court judges. The issue occurred when a voter selected 'yes' or 'no' for one candidate, but the vote was recorded for the other candidate on both the paper ballot and the machine. This problem is limited to the retention of Superior Court judges and only occurs when a voter selects 'yes' for one candidate and 'no' for another. The Elections Division has instructed poll workers to inform voters about the issue and reassure them that their vote will be recorded correctly on the paper receipt.
