Now, this glitch is turning the race for the Pennsylvania Superior Court between Judge Jack Panella and Judge Victor Stabile into a real nail-biter. According to the Northampton County Elections Office, the problem seems to happen when voters choose a “Yes” or a “No” for one of the candidates. It’s like the machines have a mind of their own and decide to record the opposite candidate instead. Talk about a voting machine gone rogue!
And let me tell you, the folks in Northampton County are not too happy about it. County Executive Lamont McClure is absolutely livid at the election officials and ES&S, the company responsible for these machines. And can you blame him? This is a big mess!
But don’t worry, folks. The county says they’re on it. They’ve acknowledged the issue and are promising to fix it as fast as lightning. In a press release, they assured the public that they’re working hard to resolve this malfunction. Well, I sure hope they do because we can’t have our votes getting all muddled up like this. It’s gotta be fair and square!
Now, here’s the scoop on what’s causing all this chaos. It seems the glitch only affects the retention of Superior Court Judges and only messes things up when a voter says “Yes” to one candidate and “No” to another. It’s a pretty specific glitch, but boy, is it causing quite the commotion!
And let me tell you, there’s been major disruptions in the voting process because of these wacky machines. In places like Palmer Township, Bethany Wesleyan Church in Lehigh Township, College Hill Presbyterian Church in Easton, and the Allen Township Fire Hall, voters have been forced to fill out good ol’ paper ballots because the machines just can’t seem to get their act together.
Even the poll workers have thrown in the towel and ditched the machines altogether, resorting to provisional ballots. It’s like we’re living in the Wild West, folks! This whole mess has everyone frustrated and concerned, and who can blame them? They’ve got a right to be ticked off!
So, Northampton County, let’s get this sorted out ASAP. We need a fair and accurate election, where our votes actually count. And to all those officials responsible for these faulty machines, get your act together! This is not the time for glitches and blunders. Our democracy depends on it!
It’s concerning to see voting machine malfunctions like this. It brings into question the reliability and accuracy of our voting systems. We must ensure that our elections are secure and that every vote is properly counted. This incident highlights the need for improvements and updates in our voting technology. It’s time to invest in modern and efficient systems that can handle the weight of our democratic process. Let’s not let these glitches deter us from exercising our right to vote in the future.
