Potter County Judge: Nothing wrong with voting machines (Amarillo, TX)
Amarillo-Globe News ^ | October 25, 2016 | Ron Balaskovitz

Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner issued a statement Tuesday denying social media claims that local voting machines are changing votes.

“There is nothing wrong with any of the machines we use for voting,” Tanner said in her statement. “They do not flip your vote. They do not flip parties. Humans do that.”

Tanner said she verified with Potter County Elections Administrator Melynn Huntley that there have been no problems with the machines.

In Randall County there has been one reported incident of an irregularity, Tanner said.

A voter said they cast a straight-ticket ballot and, when they hit the vote button, it flipped parties. It was reported to an election official. The ballot was canceled and the voter allowed to vote again on another machine, Tanner said.

“I urge the voters to take the opportunity to review their ballot before they hit the vote button,” Tanner said. “As everyone knows, our fingers don’t always do what our brain tells them.”

Tanner also said that voters cannot request a paper ballot as is being reported by many people making posts on social media.

Local voting machines are both calibrated and tested daily.

Concerns first appear to have come to light from a Randall County woman on Facebook ...

Calls to Randall County elections offices regarding the matter were not immediately returned.

If so the voters will make a stink about it and bring it up with their Governor.

Well ... should we tell the humans to stop doing that? It is a felony, you know!

I want to hear the same Judge say: Guns don’t kill people. People do. Maybe the Judge along with Hillary and Obama can then get together and say: Radical Islamic Terrorism! I won’t wait around to hear it.

Have no idea; I'm just across the border in New Mexico and we mark paper ballots that are retained for manual counting if necessary. Also, the machines are not those shown in the YouTube video links posted on other threads. In New Mexico, the Republican SOS win a couple of years ago resulted in removing straight-party voting. However, the Dem candidate vows to reinstate it if she's elected as well as make registration/voting easier for minorities (i.e. No voter identification necessary).

You are not allowed a paper ballot?

Time to file voting rights suit against this “judge” and others involved in the election.

Is a voter prohibited from taking smartphone pictures or videos of the ballot screen, while casting the vote?
