Widespread Voting Machine Issues Plague Cambria County, Spread to Other Pennsylvania Counties

By [Author's Name]

On Election Day, voters across Cambria County, Pennsylvania, reported widespread issues with voting machines. The problems, which included machines that would not accept ballots, led to long lines and delays at polling places, and in some cases even prevented people from voting.

The issues were not limited to Cambria County. Similar problems were reported in other counties across the state, including Allegheny, Philadelphia, and Delaware. In Allegheny County, voting machines malfunctioned at more than 50 polling places, while in Philadelphia, some voters were given provisional ballots after the machines at their polling place failed.

Machines were Not Accepting Ballots

One of the most common problems reported was that the voting machines were not accepting ballots. In some cases, the machines would simply reject the ballots, while in other cases, they would eat the ballots and then spit them out. This problem was particularly widespread in Cambria County, where it affected more than 50 polling places.

Long Delays at Polling Places

The problems with the voting machines led to long lines and delays at polling places. In some cases, the lines were so long that people had to wait for hours to vote. This was particularly problematic in Cambria County, where some polling places had to be closed due to the long lines.

Some Voters Denied the Right to Vote

In some cases, the problems with the voting machines prevented people from voting altogether. This was particularly true in Cambria County, where some voters were turned away from the polls after the machines at their polling place failed.

The widespread voting machine issues in Cambria County and other Pennsylvania counties are a serious problem that needs to be addressed. These issues have made it difficult for people to exercise their right to vote, and they have undermined the integrity of the election process.

The Pennsylvania Department of State is investigating the problems with the voting machines. The department has said that it will take steps to ensure that these problems do not occur again in the future.
