Missing voting machine documents raise concern about Pa. county’s testing processes

When Northampton County voters cast their ballots in an election last November, it became clear to them very quickly that something was wrong. On the printed records that are meant to show them how they voted, the votes they cast in one judge’s election were appearing under another judge’s name. “It’s a joke,” one frustrated voter told Lehigh Valley News on Election Day. “We don’t even have faith in the electoral system, then this happens?” The mixup — the result of an error in programming voting machines — didn’t result in any votes being counted incorrectly, because the machines don’t rely on the text of that printed record to tabulate results.
