With many regions of the country reporting record turnouts for midterm elections on Tuesday, what we’ve also seen is an alarmingly large number of problems with voting machines, tabulators, and cyberattacks.
The problems began early in Maricopa County, Ariz., for instance, where reports claimed that one-in-five polling sites, or 20 percent, were experiencing “‘issues’ with tabulation machines just hours after Election Day polls opened,” reported Fox News Digital.
A Twitter thread posted by Rich Baris detailed the problem as it unfolded.
“This started with a single location. Then a few. Now, it’s sounding as if this is widespread and very serious,” he began in a post containing a video clip of what appears to be an election official explaining that voters who could not get a machine to accept their ballot could simply drop them off in a box to be ‘counted later.’

“Turnout is very heavy, very early in Maricopa. This is a real serious problem. No voter should ever have to leave their ballot in a box in the corner of the room and expect it to be handled properly at some point later,” Baris continued. “It’s a chain of custody nightmare and easily exploitable. And please, I don’t need the usual Mr. Rogers-like suspects to pretend this is not a big deal. It is, and nobody is this naive, so drop the pretentious BS.
“Maricopa was told along with other counties that turnout would be very heavy on #ElectionDay,” he continued. “It needs to be fixed. Due to the issues in Maricopa and Pinal during the primary, election officials were presented with a data-based argument making it very clear that they needed to be prepared for massive turnout on #ElectionDay.
“They knew. This is totally unacceptable,” Baris wrote, adding: “Great job, Carter Center.”
Meanwhile, in Champaign, Ill., officials there said that the clerk’s office claimed that there were connectivity issues with voting machines due to a “cyber-attack.”
The clerk’s office of Champaign County, Illinois, is experiencing connectivity issues for its voting machines in what it is calling a “cyber-attack.” The office stated it believed the issues are a result of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, Fox News Digital reported.
“The Champaign County Clerk’s Office is aware of connectivity issues and computer server performance being impacted,” the clerk’s office announced Tuesday per social media. “The Clerk’s Office believes these are due to cyber-attacks on the network and servers.”
The office went on to say that the attacks have been underway for weeks.
“For the past month the Champaign County Clerk’s website has been the target of repeated D-DOS attacks, fortunately the reinforced security and response from the Clerk’s IT team has prevented these attacks from being successful and the Clerk’s website has remained secured,” the post said.
A judge in Luzerne County, Pa., ordered polling stations to remain open until 10 p.m. EDT after voters in some locations reported they had run out of paper for the voting machines.
“Voters in Luzerne County through no fault of their own, were disenfranchised and denied the fundamental right to vote,” Judge Lesa S. Gelb said in an order Tuesday.
And in Detroit, several voters who showed up to the polls were told they had already voted by absentee ballot, even though they had not.
“Some voters in Detroit who voted in person were told they had already voted absentee. The department of elections is aware of the problem- hard lists will be used not electronic ones- and everyone will be allowed to vote,” Charlie Langton, a TV/Radio legal analyst for WJBK Fox 2 and WWJ News Radio 950, tweeted.

Canadians live in the modern electronic age but Canada has no electronic or online voting in federal elections. Paper ballots are hand-counted. Provincial elections also use paper ballots.
It seems the silly Canadians actually want integrity and honesty in their elections.
The punch card system we used to have in the USA made it more difficult to cheat in elections. People just had to look at the back of their punch card ballot after they voted and remove any partially connected chads, very easy to do! Most people didn’t have any problems with a punch card ballot.
Where is Jimmy Carter the election monitor now that we need him right here in the good ole USA ?

The definition of insanity has been described as repeating the same procedure but expecting a different outcome…
Which l may add is hardly surprising when the obviously insane create the procedures….
and expect different outcomes…
it turns out like in the soviet union :
99% for the jewcommunist party !
The insane white-wing slaves still can’t figure out that these elections are rigged..as they continue voting every 2/4 years expecting things to be different…’Why did we lose again? Why did some Commie dyke win? Maybe next time we’ll win.’ …lol
The same old voting BS. Who cares?
@Brian USA
They are using more and more of the electronic counting systems in Canada and I am sure that voting is becoming as corrupt as in the US. I recently voted in a municipal election in my province using electronic counters. There is likely not very much vote rigging at this level. However, if there was something really “important” to the power moguls dependent on our votes, no doubt there would be.
All I had to do was show I was on the voters list to get my large electronic ballot paper in a file folder for me to select my choice of candidates. Instructions were given by the voting officer and on the ballot that I was not to put an “X” in the circle beside the names of the candidates I chose, but only to darken the 2mm space inside the circle and not go over the circumference line with the special marking pencil. These precautions not only serve the limitations of the machines to scan the ballots, but no doubt also are intended to give the voter the impression that the counting was not left to human error or interference, but only to the trusted, infallible, and disinterested technology of the machines.
Then once completing my voting behind the cardboard privacy curtain I was directed to take by ballot across the floor where I was given the great privilege of feeding it into the electronic counting machine. Only I was allowed to touch my ballot after marking it, which of course was a repeat of the old system where I would personally insert my marked ballot into a ballot box to be counted. However, being a part of the actual counting process by being able personally slide my ballot, Mr. Bean fashion, into an official Dominion counting machine, and going digital to register my votes allegedly directly in the accounts of various candidates is just more efficient and reliable than the old way. Right?
If they simply did both, such that scrutineers would watch all ballet boxes with the paper ballots after the electronic transfers, and then count and confirm the numbers from the polling stations after the voting, both with the election headquarters and with their candidates’ offices, there would be no trouble.
Vote rigging takes place because the people are generally very lazy, dishonest, and ignorant. I say they are lazy because it is easier to have a machine do the collating and the counting, and they think that in trusting the integrity of the computers and machines they do not have to bother having scrutineers to oversee the voting and the counting. They are generally dishonest because they have lost any regard for honesty in politics, in the media, from their governments and even in much of their own personal lives. They are ignorant in that they do not know just how lazy, dishonest and ignorant they actually are, and they don’t want to know.
They are lazy, dishonest, and ignorant because they think that numbers cannot be added and subtracted by programs, algorithms, and hacking within the electronic tabulating methods, and in saying that such concerns are “conspiracy theory”. They are lazy, dishonest, and ignorant because if the voting is really important to them, they prefer it to be rigged and fixed according to their own interests. They are lazy, dishonest, and ignorant because they prefer the fake copy of reality given to them by the mainstream media in place of finding out for themselves what is really going on in the world.

‘The same old voting BS. Who cares?’
Exactly.
Meanwhile, Russia has evacuated from Kherson all its military and its belligerent equipment, and all civilians willing to go, The 8 HIMARS-launched missiles the Ukrainians attempted to lob at them were shot down. And now Ukraine, and The Guardian et al, are celebrating a Ukrainian victory! Seriously.
