Officials in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, have unanimously approved the district attorney to investigate the recent primary election after on-screen ballots mislabeled Republican ballots as Democrat candidates. (The Times Leader) – […] Dominion Voting Systems Inc., which supplied and programs the devices, said “human error” at the company caused the data entry typographical mistake that put a Democratic header at the top of Republican ballots. The county administration also acknowledged the county did not test the ballots after they were programmed into the machines, relying on the company to do that task. Griffith’s resolution asks the DA’s office to investigate Dominion’s practices and procedures in programming and set-up of the primary ballot, the county election bureau’s review and testing and the election board’s role in election equipment oversight and security.

Thanks for the post. Will be fun to sneak this story in on the election fraud deniers, "what-aboutism style" while they are in the midst of denying everything thats been alleged in Arizona.
"Ok, well if all those AZ anomalies are nothing-burgers, then please explain this confirmed election anomaly that happened in this other state, by the same vote machine company."
LOL! Seems insulting to burgers somehow...
Heck yeah they do! :)
These commissioners also need to be held accountable for not checking the ballots beforehand and “relying on the company to do so.”
Its because its beboooonked. Duh.
Always check your ballot before pulling the lever. In one election - I pressed the GOP candidates. Checked my ballot and one had switched to DIMocrat. This happened 2 more times before finally registering all as GOP. I told the poll watchers in quite a loud voice that they should make sure that everyone is checking their ballots because ballot choices were being switched.
Ours you just scan the ballot all its shows you is what # vote you are. So I put that on my stub. I miss the old green metal monsters . They worked just fine.
yeah that’s why they don’t use them anymore....
Fraud always only goes in one direction. “Mistakes” and “glitches” always benefit only one party.
I live in Oregon now but I am originally from Luzerne county Pennsylvania, this is a nice headline that brings a smile to my face...but that is all it is for now is a headline. When I see action taken then there will be cause for hope. Still nice to see. Pennsylvania is just as red as Texas folks.
Just 1 county away! I'm hoping the corruption here is going to be addressed as well. The scum lawyer who's in charge of the nursing home that took mom his fathers obit praised Biden and all he did for them. I want their heads on pikes
Grew up in Columbia County, this is also the county of kids for cash scheme and countless other scandals.
"mislabeled"
Isn't Sleepy-Creepy from nearby?
He did. i lived in this area for less than a year. Very beautiful land that God created here.
Any day now
;-)
This would benefit republicans though, because democrats would vote for republican candidates thinking they're democrats, wouldn't it?
Funny, these errors always seem to go one way. Whether it be by switching votes, mislabeling ballots or folds in the ballot counting to the other side.
I wouldn't trust these politicians especially from this county! This is the county that placed kids in detention Centers to recieve kickbacks! These kids including me were sent to detention centers and bootcamps for the most petty reasons. This county has had scandal after scandel.
