A clerical error in an eastern Pennsylvania county caused votes to appear to be flipped on a ballot question that asked whether a pair of incumbent state appeals judges should be retained
A voting machine company's clerical error caused votes in an eastern Pennsylvania county to appear to be flipped on a ballot question that asked whether a pair of incumbent state appeals judges should be retained, officials said Tuesday.
Despite the glitch on the printed summary, voters' actual choices were properly recorded by the machines' backend system, and their votes will be tabulated accurately, Dertinger said Thursday afternoon at a news conference in Easton. The county obtained a court order Tuesday after the problem was discovered that allowed the machines to continue to be used.
Omaha, Nebraska-based ES&S acknowledged fault. A company spokesperson, Katina Granger, said the problem was caused by human error, was limited to Northampton County and only affected the judicial retention question.
