This shit is going on all over the country. My brother lives near the WI / IL border and they just discovered that 'misaligned' ballots that could not accurately be read by the machines on their local election day changed the outcome of multiple races.

The votes cast for some of the county's school board races were underreported Tuesday night because of changes made to the descriptions of the terms for these races, which altered the spacing of the ballot just enough to interfere with their machinery's ability to read votes correctly,

The problem was first reported in a statement issued by Tirio late Wednesday morning, which stated only that officials had discovered "anomalies" that caused some races to be "misreported."

It wasn't until the next day that officials could definitively say why this occurred.

The underreported races were first brought to Tirio's attention by members of the Democratic Party of McHenry County, who noticed two candidates in the District 26 board race had received no votes in some precincts.

Translation: We Democrats have noticed our candidates did not get enough votes and have corrected the record.
