This from Adams County PA: More machine problems.
Significant undervoting. In one precinct, and unoppsed Democratic candidate received 0 votes out of 74 cast, a state house candidate received 2, and I (state Democratic Committee) received 1 vote.
The randomness of the error is unexplained at this moment. Other races in the same district had no apparent problem. Also, if all effected candidates got 0 votes that would be one thing, but that's not what happened.
So... this was a glaring error I uncovered and reported. What if the error weren't so glaring? What is it is "only" 10 or 15%?
This system is from Election Systems and Software, model M-100.
I need help to get this challenged. It seems that asking for 6-8 precincts to be audited to verify the accuracy of the machines is justifiable. Any advice? Send to rlund@thechristmashaus.com.
