Hundreds of scanners have been unable to read ballots in Mercer County, causing headaches for election officials It could be days before tens of thousands of votes are tabulated, but workers said every vote will count — eventually
"So everybody is going to vote, just like they always do...they only difference is instead of scanning it into the voting machine, you're going to place it in there and we're going to scan it back at the board of elections tonight," said Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Colello.
Some voters expressed frustration that advance testing didn’t catch the glitch before Election Day. Dominion Voting Systems, the company behind the scanners, said the problem is the county’s ballot, not their equipment. "The ballots are reviewed by Dominion, they work together. We pre-test, so we're going to find out where exactly the problem lies," said Sollami Colello.
