Nothing on the ballot directions said to not use a Sharpie it said blue or black ink. Don't use red ink was the only warning given. Also Doug Douchie let a Democrat recorder and sec of state change the voting system last year! The mother fucker approved a 575 page manual the day after he received it. WTF
Rural MN here...we didn't use pens. They gave us felt markers. Sharpies, basically. Wtf.
I am sorry to hear that you vote should have counted!
I refuse to believe it didn't...Why would the machine not recognize a black dot done with a marker as opposed to a pen?
They also gave us those same markers for the primary.
The machine said my vote was #378, so that would mean 400+ votes magically didn't count? Doesn't make sense.
Also we flipped a house seat red in my area...
