Reports of this happening in Tennessee. https://www.wsmv.com/2026/10/21/early-voting-concerns-were-brought-head-tennessee-elections-heres-what-he-said/
I bet lots of these electronic voting machines have been upgraded to automatically fix votes accidentally cast for the wrong candidate.
modified clip from Tim and Eric Awesome Show. Great Job.
Sometimes people just do the exact same thing over and over. I've seen this a few times. Some app I was working on had a bug where if you touched the icon on the dropdown menu, it wouldn't work. Anywhere else would work. No one noticed until a support ticket came in where this one person complained about being unable to move past that screen. They were just mashing the icon over and over.
That doesn't sound analogous at all.
Someone thought an icon was a button.
That's not the same as someone pressing a democrat button, aparently successfully, and then seeing their vote had flipped to republican.
Especially in a UI which has the sole explicit purpose of enabling a user to accurately select either Republican or Democrat.
My point was that not everybody tries different things. We'd never gotten a complaint before because every other person would try to tap a different part of the button (it was a fairly large button that took up 90% of the width of the screen). I just picked a example that was top of mind, but I've seen this in a lot of different contexts involving technology. I've had to help people with resistive touchscreen after watching them jab at the same place over and over.
The UI should have the sole purpose of enabling a user to accurately select a candidate, but they aren't actually made that way. The county in question even provides sticks to help make selections more accurately, so it's apparently been an issue with their machines for years.
