Voters in Snohomish County said when they touched the Sequoia touch screen voting machine to vote for a candidate, an indicator showed they had selected the opposing candidate. It took at least four attempts before the indicator showed the correct candidate.*

KING5 News North Sound Bureau Chief Jane McCarthy said a precinct worker told her that if there is a problem with a voting machine, it would be taken out of service if the problem cannot be fixed.

Snohomish County Auditor Bob Terwilliger told McCarthy he didn't feel this was troubling. He said the problem only occurred in 15 out of 950 electronic voting machines being used throughout the county.
