Pay Attention When You Vote

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 used the coffee stir and didn’t have any issues either. Also, I checked my answers, and I double checked them on my ballot before I submitted. Howeverrrr, poor eye sighted folks may not even realize.

I love that in 2024, years and years after the touch screen was perfected, our state has touch screen voting machines that require using a coffee stirrer as a hack and everyone is like "ok, sure, this is fine". 🤣

Username checks. 😂😂

It sounds like people are licking their fingers between each selection, so I'd rather use the stylus personally
