    Do yall not get a printed paper ballot from the machine that you then review and turn in?

    Obviously we have to account for the lowest common denominators; those who are so uncritical they would not review the printed ballot.

    But still, it’s not like the machine is sending your votes in over the internet… right?!

      Right, 100% we get a paper ballot. My understanding from reading this was that she selected the Democrat for governor, got to the final “summary” screen and it showed the Republican as her selection. And this happened multiple times. All this before the paper ballot.

      Personally, I think it’s user error. Unless it is a significant number of people reporting issues like this.

        I dunno, the adage “the purpose of a bill is what it does,” comes to mind. This could be a glitch that, to republicans in charge of running the election, is a “feature, not a bug.”
