A handful of voting machines in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania have reportedly been switching votes from Republican to Democrat according to a local newspaper.
The Lebanon Daily News reports:
A problem with the calibration of electronic voting machines in Lebanon County has caused 5-6 machines to represent straight Republican tickets as straight Democratic tickets, said Michael Anderson, director of the Lebanon County Bureau of Elections.
In these cases, the voter attempted to vote for the full Republican ticket, but noticed in the review screen that the vote was going to a straight Democratic ticket instead, Anderson said. They alerted their poll workers, who alerted the Bureau of Elections.
The Bureau of Elections has a software expert who was able to solve the problem in each case, he said. It involves a calibration issue regarding the machine. The Republican and Democratic straight tickets appear next to each other on the ballot.
The newspaper was soliciting information from anyone else who may have experienced the issue:
The Lebanon Daily News is reporting that the issue has been fixed, but it's nonetheless a good reminder to double-check your ballot before casting it. If there are any issues with your ballot, report it to your local election officials.
