A Facebook user has taken video of a touch-screen voting machine changing their votes from Bill Waller, Jr. to Tate Reeves in the GOP primary for the Mississippi governor's race.
A Facebook user in Mississippi has posted a video showing touch-screen voting machines changing votes during Tuesday's Republican primary runoff election for the governor's race. The video shows a voter trying to cast their ballot for Bill Walker Jr., only for the machine to change the vote to Tate Reeves.Sally Kate WalkerSome citizens, however, are having trouble making their vote. Voting machines in at least three precincts have rejected votes for Waller, selecting Reeves instead.
Two machines in Calhoun County have also been seen to act this way, one at the Chickenbone Baptist Church and one at the Masonic Hall precinct in Vardaman. Though it's currently unknown how many votes were cast on these machines, Calhoun County officials are determining the number.All of the machines affected are TSX models purchased from Election Systems and Software. The TSX machines with the"jumping" error were taken out of service until a technician could fix them.
In the August 6 Republican primary, Reeves was the most popular candidate, receiving 49 percent of the vote. Waller received 33 percent, while Robert Foster, a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives lost the primary with 18 percent of the vote. August 6 was also the date of the Democratic primary. Hood handily won the race with 69 percent, beating out seven other candidates. The candidate with the next-highest number of votes was Michael Brown, who received 11 percent.
Current governor, Phil Bryant, a Republican, endorsed Reeves in the race. Mississippi has term limits for the governorship, and Bryant has served for the eight-year maximum.
