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!

Yikes I’ve heard this too. I hope Tennessee gets sued by the federal government. Even if it happens both ways—voting Trump and Harris lighting up—it’s 100% unacceptable to have this sort of glitch happen so frequently that multiple people are reporting it. If the Butterfly ballot is not allowed, I’m not sure how this is.
