While voting machines in the Kentucky primary seem to have worked fine in early reports, some voters got to the polls to find that they had been purged. The SoS apparently is concerned about the hoards of illegal voters from neighboring states who will cross into Kentucky just to vote in their election. While they worry about that dozens of voters in Clay County are complaining about the possibility of their votes being changed on the voting machines. They were told not to confirm their vote on the machine which left the machine to poll workers to change the votes and do the final confirmation. Meanwhile, over 100 Danaher machines in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania had problems at start-up. They sat their and spit out their “write-in paper tape” in a steady stream of paper. …

      What,….. poll workers telling voters not to confirm
      their votes and register (close out) the electronic voting machine to allow their vote to be tabulated,..
      the poll worker would perform that entry ?
      Those votes can now be changed. Who came up with this nifty idea to allow votes to be changed,..

      Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports: Problems reported with electronic voting machines

      The first Allegheny County election with electronic voting machines got off to a somewhat rocky start this morning, when more than 100 machines had problems. Surrounding counties reported almost identical problems.

      Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato today said 120 machines wouldn’t produce "zero-count" printouts to start the day confirming there were no votes registered in the machines.
