I want to document my voting experience yesterday at the Middlebury Twp. precinct in Knox County, Ohio. When I cast my vote on a touch-screen machine for Zack Space, the machine registered Joy Padgett. When I changed it, it flipped back to Padgett, twice. Finally, it stayed on Space, but when I turned the page to review my votes, the machine once again registered Joy Padgett.
I was equally troubled by the response of the poll workers to whom I reported the glitch. Their response was something like, "Don't worry about it, it will be all right." They didn't close down the machine!
I checked the print-out to make sure the results were recorded correctly. I left wondering how many voters would even notice the glitch and check the print-out.
Isn't it interesting that all of these glitches seem to err in favor of Republicans?
