Problems with Voting Machines  (TX)

KSIM News    27 October 2008

Touch screen voting is supposed to be easier and faster, but some voters are not sold on the technology. Newschannel 9 received a complaint from one voter who says he tried to vote straight ticket Democrat.

But when he reviewed his finished ballot he noticed that all votes were cast for Republicans.

El Paso county election administrator Javier Chacon says the machines are user-friendly but mistakes can happen. Chacon says make sure you don't have anything hanging off your clothing or wrists that could inadvertently change your vote. If you want to be more precise you can ask for a stylus pen to cast your vote.
