My mom put her ID in the slot and was given a voting card and when the card was inserted the machine said the card had already cast a ballot. She asked the worker who gave her a new card, and the machine then said unable to read card. This happened three times. The poll manager had to do who knows what to a card to get it to work. While we were at the polling location the same thing happened to several other people. These machines are laughably weak. How am I supposed to know what the QR code the printed sheet reads?

ridiculous. I feel like Gabriel Sterling is covering up his piss poor implementation of the election system just as much as the fraud at this point. It honestly sounds so fucked he couldn’t distinguish what is fraud and whats just down right incompetence on his part. What a goon!

Probably had to switch the vote to D to get the machine to count it. You better hope your parents checked.

How was turnout in your area?

Turnout I would say was on par with the Presidential Election, so that's about what we need.

It's amazing that the people who want to destroy faith in God insist we use a faith based voting system....

The weird part about this is that I don't think they had these problems during early voting... weird, huh?

Point your phone's camera at the QR code. Most cameras will let you click on it and see what it says. You might have to switch to "Lens" mode on Android.

R.I.P. 2 votes go to the Democrats and one in the trash. You tried at least

It's better than just handing it to them.
