New voting machines in Shelby County.

Had to reset machine FIVE times because machine kept selecting qpuke Lee fof Gov.

Yes, I triple checked ballot & reported to poll worker.

Goooooooooo Dems!

About 15 people in front of us, more than half female.

Steady stream of people coming in after us on this last day of early voting!

that no matter which candidate you selected the vote registered for the republican.

I'm sure it's just a one-time glitch and won't keep doing this for every voter. 🙄

Not all machines, of course, but apparently there's a problem they have if the test election program they have for "training purposes" on select machines isn't properly removed before loading the machines for the actual election.
Of course, those machines always seem to end up in democratic districts and seem to be stuck on selecting republican candidates during close races.
Just odd how that always seems to happen.
