MS Voting Machine Errors Messing with Runoff


Voters who Cast Ballots for One Party in the Mississippi August 6th Primary may have improperly Voted for a Different Party in the Runoff due to Machine Malfunctions, according to the Hinds County GOP.

Pete Perry, Hinds County Republican Party Chairman, said he was First Alerted to an Issue at Casey Elementary Precinct around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday.

Former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves are currently in a Runoff for the Republican Nomination in the Governor's Race to see who will take on Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood in the November General Election. Reeves led Waller in the Aug. 6th Balloting by a 49-33 margin, though the Race went to a Runoff after No Candidate hit 50%.

The School is One of the 108 Precincts in Hinds County. According to a Poll Worker, People who Voted Democratic in the Primary were allowed to Vote in the Republican Runoff, Perry said.

According to Perry, the “Party Lock” on Machines provided by Election Systems and Software (ES&S) is Not Functioning. This means Voters who Cast a Ballot for a Democratic Candidate in the Primary are being Erroneously allowed to Vote in the Republican Runoff.

'It's a hell of a big mess:' Hinds says of Democrats Voting in Republican Runoff.

Though Officials confirmed the Issues with only Three Machines in Two Counties, the Waller Campaign said that it had received Reports of the same Problem from: Forrest, Lamar, Leflore, Lincoln, Pearl River, Scott, and Washington Counties.
