Voting machine issues unacceptable in Johnson County (KS)

[deminks]

While we still wait for results in the GOP gov race (both of them are inhuman) from same county, richest most populous county in state. I could see waiting until the next day for a rural county. Not this one with all conceivable resources. Kinda like they are waiting to see how many votes someone needs?

Mission accomplished?

Scattered problems with new voting machines in Johnson County Tuesday were a serious disappointment. Election officials must make sure these issues are resolved before November.

The county spent more than $10 million to buy the new machines, which provide a paper audit trail in case of any disputed outcome. The county’s old machines were outdated and needed to be replaced, and we have no quarrel with that decision.

But some of the new machines simply didn’t work Tuesday, leading some voters to give up and go to work. Poll workers were seemed unsure of a backup plan. Some voters think ballots may have been miscast.

Other voters were confused because at least one race extended to a second screen. That confusion extended voting times for some. There also reports of registration problems.

1. Any way we can blame Kobach for this?

2. Kobach is the one who came up with the Crosscheck system , which purges ethnic looking names

from voters rolls. So, the registration problems may be related to that. It wouldn't surprise me if he was somehow behind the voting machine fuckery as well. Maybe not bothering to get the machines calibrated?

3. Kobach appointed the JoCo election commissioner, former GOP county chairman and state rep

His job was to fix the huge problems JoCo had in 2016.

I think he probably is a fixer of another kind.
