The Michigan Department of State admitted that some of the Dominion voting machines meant for people with disabilities will be inconvenient to use.
No one can fix the machines in time for the election.
In a release, the department wrote that some of the terminals the state uses for people with disabilities present an error message if the voter does not cast a ballot in the way indicated at the beginning of the process.Voters must select the “straight party” option on the machines, which are owned by Dominion Voting Systems, if they want to cast all their ballots for members of one party, according to the state department. Otherwise, the voter needs to select the desired candidate for each race, the release says.If the voter selects the “straight party” option but casts ballots for candidates of different parties, the error message will appear, the department explained.
If the voter gets the error message, they must deselect the “straight party” and vote the other way.
“We’re working with Dominion to seek accountability on that front and also are working with our clerks to ensure voters are aware of this programming issue that will require them to ensure they are voting every section on the ballot,” stated Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
Don’t forget that Benson admitted it could take days before we know the outcome of the election in the state.
It’s also suspicious because Dominion countered Benson’s claim that the problem is nationwide:
“Dominion has made multiple requests for corrective action from the Michigan Secretary of State’s office regarding a false and misleading statement made during a Monday press conference that there is a ‘nationwide issue’ with Dominion voting assistance terminals that are offering split party voting,” the company said, adding it has “no machines in any other states that offer straight party voting options” like Michigan.
But yet…why are the problems with only Dominion voting machines?
