by William Upton, The National Pulse:
A so-called “coding error” caused voting machines in an eastern Pennsylvania county to malfunction and erroneously tabulate votes on a ballot question asking whether two Superior Court Judges should be retained. Northampton County, Pennsylvania executive Lamont McClure said if a voter marked ‘Yes’ on their ballot the machine tabulated it as a ‘No’, and vice-versa.
The malfunction impacted all 300 of Northampton County’s voting machines according to McClure. The Pennsylvania Department of State said the error was isolated to machines in Northampton and only impacted the retention question for the two judges. No other races on Tuesday’s election ballot were impacted.

Election Systems & Software, the company which manufactured and programed the voting machines, acknowledged they were responsible for tabulation issue. The company claimed the malfunction was the result of human error and was not caught during testing.
After the issue was discovered, the county obtained a court order to continue using the machines despite the malfunction. McClure said election officials would correct the election results for the two judges when the votes are tabulated. The Northampton County executive downplayed the situation calling the malfunction a “relatively minor glitch” and emphasized “everybody’s vote’s going to count.”
The National Pulse previously reported most voting machines will not meet new federal standards in time for the 2024 election, renewing concerns about legitimacy of the results. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has refused to address serious concerns about vulnerabilities in the state’s Dominion voting machines raised in the Halderman Report.
