Pay Attention When You Vote Politics

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 can't think of a rational reason to want Harris. I've watched so much of her stuff, and it baffles me how anyone can even remotely think she should even be a small town mayor.

The astute reader will notice that I didn't mention Harris once in the comment you are responding to.

Whataboutism doesn't work here.

Your entire post is about trying to vote for Harris and it voting Trump instead...

My entire post is about encouraging people to verify their ballots and encouraging people to vote. I happened to vote for Harris, but there are other names on the ballot and regardless of who you vote for, you should want the machines to accurately record your vote.

You responded to a comment that calls out how Trump supporters seem unable to comprehend that there are rational reasons to vote for literally anyone else. For y'all, it has to be some sort of feeble minded derangement, or media brainwashing, or something like that.

You responded by bashing Harris instead of speaking to the point, which is what I expect will happen again if you respond.
