For the second straight election, an Indiana county’s voting machines were not properly registering the preferred candidate.

According to a report Tuesday in the Lafayette Journal & Courier, several Tippecanoe County machines were switching votes in Tuesday’s municipal elections.

Voter Robert Kurtz took a video of his touch screen’s failures as he tried to vote for three at-large seats on the West Lafayette City Council.

“When I touched a square next to a candidate’s name, the machine selected the square for the candidate above,” Mr. Kurtz said, according to the Journal & Courier. “If I touched the square for the candidate at the top of the list, nothing happened.”

Separately, according to the Journal & Courier, County Clerk Julie Roush had to travel to a West Lafayette fire station to check the calibration on three machines after a voter called to say that his machine kept marking an “X” for a candidate other than the one he wanted.

The county’s machines had similar problems in the 2018 midterm elections and Mr. Kurtz said he was among the complainers then.

County officials said it was simply a calibration problem, nothing nefarious.

“It’s not a case of being set up to change a vote,” Ms. Roush said. “It’s a calibration issue … If voters have issues, please have them tell a poll worker so we can address it right away.”

Mr. Kurtz took a different view of the matter, though he didn’t accuse county officials of corruption.

“These machines are junk and need to be replaced,” he said.

Why hasn’t this been remedied yet? What has happened to America that we are still using tampered equipment to cast our votes for the leaders of our nation and we’ve known about this for years. Hasn’t it been proven that the electronic systems are too easy to tamper with? We have the biggest election 1 year ahead of us and this should have been handled prior to the last election. Why aren’t the Republicans on top of this? Or the FBI or the DOJ? Is it because they are so busy trying to frame our President? I am shocked that we have known about this for so long and have not fixed the situation. Why? I pray that this issue will have top priority with the Republican party for the next 12 months. What’s the use of all the campaigning if the voting machines are fixed? BUT GOD! I am praying that God will expose everyone who has any involvement with causing these machines to change votes and that justice and righteousness will be swiftly served all across this nation. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Since when does a county or anywhere wait until a problem occurs to calibrate their voting machines??? Shouldn’t this be done BEFORE an election?!?!
