Pay Attention When You Vote

[u/sarcasticbaldguy]

To be clear right at the beginning, I'm not suggesting anything is rigged or unfair.

I voted today and the poll worker gave clear instructions to make sure my chosen candidate changes color to confirm the selection, and to verify my printed ballot before inserting it into the tabulator.

I tapped Harris and Trump lit up. I tapped Harris again and the selection was recognized.

I tapped Johnson and Blackburn lit up. I tapped Johnson again and it was recognized.

The third section acted as I would expect, but it was multiple choice and programmed to behave differently.

There could be a variety of issues that caused this. Double check your selections before you finalize your vote.

Also, go vote!

I voted today and had no issues. I used the coffee stirrer and poked in the middle of the rectangle on the name and it registered everything correctly. I always triple check mine and read the printed ballot anyway.

Yeah the poll workers clearly instructed me to tap in the center of the bigger box the name is in, not the tiny check mark box in the corner. No issues.

I had the same issue as OP and the same solution as what you mentioned. The checkbox is misleading but I don't think it's intentional. I'd blame it more on poor software development testing.
